Supporting Our Valued Adolescents: A place to learn, share your strength, be positive, and grow.
Going back to school or college after a long summer vacation can be tough, but September is often an easy month.

By October or November, stress and anxiety start to rear their ugly heads as students’ to-do lists grow longer and the days slip away.
