Dear Tennessee Counselors,

Fall is in the air! I hope each of you are finding the time to take care of yourselves. School has picked up, schedules changes have left us feeling dizzy, and the referrals just keep coming in.

Stop and take time some self-care. This year I’ve been teaching my students about the benefits of mindfulness. I encourage each of you to try it out as well.

Venture outside into the crisp fall air and try this simple mindfulness activity:

• ·      Find 5 different leaves
• ·      Listen for 5 different sounds
• ·      Look for 5 different fall colors
• ·      Use your sense of smell to detect 5 different scents
• ·      Find 5 different textures (rough twigs, soft flower petals, etc.)

I hope each of you have a wonderful and relaxing Fall Break,

Laura Filtness

TSCA Board Chair

Welcome,

I’m so excited to start the this year as your Chair of the Board and Social Media Chairperson.

This summer I had the honor of representing TN at the ASCA Leadership Institute in Boston. It was an incredible week of learning, collaborating, and fellowship. Our speaker Lindsay Pollak inspired me to think of how we can grow TSCA to meet the multi-generational needs of our members. To do that, I need you!

I would love to see our members sharing their wisdom in our state newsletters, getting involved by attending our chapter and state conference, and most importantly sharing your ideas and feedback with our leadership team.  So let’s keep in touch- follow us on social media or e-mail me anytime. 

Let’s have a wonderful year together,

Laura Filtness
