Elgin Cares Personal Check-in

How to Use this Tool

The Elgin Cares tool can be used individually or as a part of a group to encourage people to check in about their mental health, examine their relationships, and engage in wellness activities. The Elgin Cares tool provides individuals with a list of resources they can have access to in the Elgin community to help them through this difficult time. Although the Elgin Cares tool was created to help the Elgin community through the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be used multiple times throughout the year. The Elgin Cares tool can be done all at once, or it can be broken up by sections. If you are planning to work through the tool all at once, we recommend that you allocate about 20-30 minutes.

Especial Instructions for ESL Classes

We recommend that students in the beginner levels work through both the English and the Spanish versions of the tool so that they don’t miss any of the information. We also recommend that when working through the English version of the tool the students work through each of the sections as a separate lesson, which allows them to get the necessary information and to practice their English.
