Student Mental Health Solutions That Make a Difference

Anxiety

Every day school professionals deal with the many ways that anxiety can interfere with students’ academic, emotional, and social development. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health issues diagnosed in young people and they can affect not only individuals but also families and communities.

Depression

Many healthcare leaders have characterized the youth mental health crisis as an epidemic noting that growing numbers of American children are experiencing depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. The crisis was brewing for about a decade before 2020, but the epidemic further exacerbated existing problems while at the same time creating new ones.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral disorder characterized by persistent patterns of angry, defiant, and hostile behavior. It can be extremely challenging to navigate life with ODD and it affects individuals and families alike.

I also value the ability to reflect the small moments of greatness that happen every day.
