Anxiety and a new school year are here

A new school year is about to start. Did you know that anxiety issues are the most common mental health disorder in children and teens? 

There's 18 million children and teens who suffer with anxiety. Most other children and teens are undisguised or don't reach out for help. 

Beginning a new school year can trigger or worsen anxiety in stressed out children and teens. This is due to emotional, social and educational challenges. 

Summer is like a safe haven for children and teens with anxiety because its a break from the stress. 

What are you doing to help prepare you and your children for the new school year? 

What grade is your child/children in? 

What challenges do you think your child may face this year?
