We are on the cusp of back to school season, and that means that many families are preparing for the year ahead. They’re buying clothes. They’re picking up supplies. They’re navigating schedules. They’re trying their best to figure out how to make sure their child succeeds, and how to do so in a way that doesn’t impact their own lives.
Even for those that are *more* than ready for back to school season to happen, it can be a stressful time. There is a lot that needs to be balanced. Many parents find this time period stressful. Many children do as well.
What if this year you try something a little different?
What if this year, you combine back to school season with mental health?
What if you – and any member of your family – consider a therapist to help you navigate all the challenges that the school year can cause?
