MINNEAPOLIS – Let’s face it, we could all enjoy a week of relaxation! Good news, switch to Chill’s “Cold week” starts next Monday, October 11. Structured to resemble a traditional homecoming week at school, Chill Week focuses on a daily theme to encourage teens (and adults) to reflect and practice self-care using the Change to Chill’s free online resources and activities.
The themes for this year’s Chill Week are:
• Move-it Monday – focus on physical activity and mindful movement.
• Tour Tuesday – encourages participants to find places in their communities that help them relax and de-stress (ie chillout area at school, local park, community garden, etc.).
• Wellness Wednesday – takes participants to the Cold Change Stressor Quiz to assess their stressors, understand their physical impacts and learn coping skills. Also encourages discussion of mental health stigma.
• Grateful Thursday – encourages participants to practice gratitude as a way to improve their mood, health and overall well-being.
• Friendship Friday – emphasizes the importance of social bonds and healthy relationships.
All are invited to participate, whether as an individual, school or community, or as a family. For more information, check out this year’s Chill Week guide. We also encourage you to follow Change to Chill on social media and show off how you celebrate #ChillWeek.
Change to Chill is Allina Health’s free online resource that offers mental health resources for teens designed to help them learn to relax and integrate healthy habits into their lifestyle. Whether you’re a teenager, mentor, or parent, mindfulness guides and stress management activities to help calm your spirits and make a change for Chill.
