Background

 High school can be a challenging time, navigating academic pressure, new relationships, and finding oneself.  While this can be exciting, it can also become overwhelming - many students may struggle with their mental health at some point. Stress-related problems, depression, and anxiety are common, as well as more serious emotional difficulties and substance abuse. These challenges can seriously impact an individual's ability to thrive in their youth and even bring damaging long-term consequences for the future.
