Mental Health Matters

Mental Health Newsletter 

As we anticipate Winter Break... This time of the year, for some, can be filled with joy for all of the festivities, time with family, and winter weather. For others, this time of the year can be filled with difficulty as people navigate loss, change in routine, etc. We hope this newsletter gives some helpful tips on how to help your student. We wish you a safe break and look forward to welcoming students back in the New Year!
