Small Group Opportunity - open to all students 6-8
Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression are evident each day in our students. Some anxiety is a very normal experience and even healthy for an individual. However, when anxiety symptoms become a significant factor of daily life and cause constant disruptions to the individual it makes it difficult for students to perform at their best, both academically and socially. The TRAILS to Wellness group programs are backed by research and methodology. See the informational flyer below to get a glimpse into what the program is about. And, as always, please email with any further questions. If you think your student would be a good fit for this group experience please use the form below or email me directly.
Understanding Bullying & Harassment - What it IS and what it ISN'T
Bullying and Harassment are very real parts of our society. When present, they can disrupt an individual's well being, their success, as well as their self-worth. But, how do we know if it's actually happening? Did you know there are criteria that helps to easily define what bullying and Harassment are as well as helps to distinguish when something is really bullying and when it is simply a case of a person being mean or rude (not cool.....but not bullying either). There are distinct differences and so often they are not clearly understood. Bullying is a serious thing and one that needs to be clearly understood.
Take a look at the infographics below to learn about these important distinctions!

New Feature! App of the Month
With the digital world evolving and changing so fast, combined with our teens and tweens being VERY digitally savvy, included every month will be a highlight of a commonly used app. This section will include relevant and useful information for parents and caregivers as it relates to the app and our children. So much good can come from social media and devices, but when not understood so much negativity can filter in before you know it.
