'A Cry for Help': CDC Warns of a Steep Decline in Teen Mental Health
The CDC is warning of an accelerating mental health crisis among adolescents, with more than 4 in 10 teens reporting that they feel “persistently sad or hopeless,” and 1 in 5 saying they have contemplated suicide, according to the results of a survey published Thursday. But the survey also offers hope, finding that teens who feel connected at school report much lower rates of poor health. The finding calls attention to the critical role schools can play in a student’s mental health.

Summer Groups
School may be almost out… but mental health is still in! Summer groups at the Summit Counseling Center are a great opportunity for students to work on social and emotional skills while also building connectedness, communicating with others, and honing social skills in a group setting. Ranging from Kindergarten to 12th grade and focusing on topics like anxiety, grief, and building confidence (and more!), find a group for your student to grow in while school's out!

Building Confidence 101
By Megan Barfield, MS
|
Looking back at my own experiences as a young female and those of the females around me, including clients, friends, and my younger sister, I wish that “Building Confidence 101” was a course I could have taken at some point in my middle school or high school (or even college for that matter) career. The act of building confidence can feel gruesome and, at times, even impossible when the pressures of our day-to-day lives and our goals and expectations are weighing on us...
