Preparing for college is a stressful experience for everyone involved. Applications, campus visits, financial aid, handling rejection—the list is long and can be a lot for a teen to try and navigate. The stress can pile on very quickly without notice and may be hard for both teens and parents to handle. But the excitement of college shouldn’t be overcast by an impact on student mental health. So how can caretakers and students alike focus on the positives of the experience while balancing new challenges?
Join us as Ethan Solomon, MEd offers advice to counter the stressors of preparing for college, shares ways to be supportive of students without being overbearing, and answers questions about how young adults and their families can enjoy the experiences that lay ahead.

here’s no one way to describe what stress looks or feels like for a child. Often kids don’t have the words to describe how they’re feeling, and so stress can manifest as many emotions or reactions that we may not assume are attributed to being stressed. Being overloaded with stress or not knowing how to manage it can cause kids and teens to become anxious, withdrawn, aggressive, ill, or develop poor coping skills.
Join us as Dr. Lisa Coyne shares ways to identify stress in kids of all ages, explains common sources of stress both in and out of the home, and provides tips and tricks for lowering stress levels that all members of the family can benefit from.

Caring for others can be a joyful and beautiful experience—or it can be detrimental to our well-being. Burnout in caretaker populations can go easily overlooked, as most attention may be given to the person being looked after. A caregiver with burnout often feels overwhelmed and may be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted from the stressors and weight of caring for loved ones. Join us as Marie Clouqueur, LICSW, shares ways to identify burnout in caregiver populations, discusses how we can prevent burnout from happening, and answers questions about how caretakers can prioritize their own needs when it may feel difficult to do so.

Despite the progress that’s been made in talking about and addressing mental health, stigma still remains—especially in young male populations. For many teen boys and young men, it can be difficult for them to express how they’re feeling or admit that they have been struggling with mental health. Despite efforts being made around freedom of emotional expression, many boys still feel pressured to put on a brave face and pretend things are all okay. Join us as Dr. Byron Garcia shares ways to create safe spaces for self-expression, explains the signs and symptoms of common mental health conditions in young men and boys, and answers questions about how to encourage male teens and young adults to seek treatment if it’s needed.
