NJSD Staff Resources
Navigating wellness during uncertain times
As a Wellness Coordinator, my goal is to support staff wellbeing during this time of uncertainty and change. Together with the Healthy You Champions and District Mental Health Coordinator, we will provide resources and information pertaining to the COVID-19 response.
Wellness Champions
Your Go-To Contact for Wellness Needs
The Healthy You Champions are volunteer NJSD staff members who are housed in every building in the District. The Champs serves as the go-to person for all wellness-related needs in your building, including uncertainty surrounding re-entry. Champs will direct you to the appropriate information, leadership, or wellness resources to address your ever-changing questions and concerns.

Simple Self-Care Habits
During this time of change and transitions, it is important to put on your own oxygen mask first. As educators, parents, friends, and co-workers, it is often difficult to put our own needs before others. We know that our productivity, success, and resilience is at the highest level when we take care of our own wellbeing. Find out how you can focus on your needs to be your best for your students, family and co-workers.
Mental Wellbeing & EAP
Navigating COVID-19 has been stressful for staff. Fear and anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. Adjusting to a digital role has created added stress and uncertainty. Coping with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger
