Self-care is defined as the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. What is something you plan to do for self-care before the end of Summer?

In 2020, 16-year-old Ava McCarville hit her lowest point.

She didn't care about graduating from Maryvale High School. Stopped talking to friends.

Today, she's on track to graduate. She credits @CompeerBuffalo with helping her make it through.
