If You Know a Student Who is Struggling:
- Alert the school counselor or social worker that the student may benefit from extra support
- Ask if there is a group or club that may add opportunities for connection, support, and joy
- Ask if there is an on-site therapist who is accepting new clients
- Encourage the student to tell a trusted adult when things feel overwhelming
- Reach out to school administrators, teachers, or counselors for extra problem solving support
