Supporting Youth Mental Health
School is now back in session! This can be an exciting time for many young people. They have the chance to start learning new things and to reconnect with friends, yet the transition back into the school structure can be hard. Our children can face many challenges both academically and socially that can affect their stress levels. It is important to be conscious of our youth’s mental health and to support their needs.

Local Resources
Resources are available right in your child’s very own school. If your child is having a hard time, school counselors are specialized in your child’s age group. You may make an appointment with your school’s counselor by contacting the front office. Many schools have wellness centers and other systems in place to provide support for their students. The counselors can also provide additional information about local resources that may be available.
