As we start the 23-24 school year, it's important for young people to hear that anxiety, stress, and negative emotions are completely normal - particularly in times of crisis. They also need to hear that there is always HOPE. In fact, just one positive nurturing relationship with an adult can help kids fight the effects of trauma. Talk to us about concerns you have
