School Counselors play a critical role is helping tie a student’s strengths and weaknesses into positive academic and social emotional success and dreaming big for their future. We went with a Ted Lasso theme this year 😉👏🏻⚽️ #NSCW23

No child should feel like they have to go through a battle alone. It’s on all of us to start building a culture that normalizes the process of talking about #YouthMentalHealth, seeking and receiving help, and holistically addressing the needs of youth. https://t.co/BHjUGnR4Fa

Five: Ask for help, and encourage your teen to ask for help, if needed. Though they're also are worn down by the pandemic, I am watching so many teachers, coaches, advisors, and school counselors give incredible support to kids. 9/9
