Middle School Snapshots

Although the Mental Health Snapshots newsletter is no longer being published, we’ve kept all previous editions available for you to reference. Created to support parents and caregivers, these archived issues reflect our long-standing commitment to student well-being and continue to offer helpful strategies, resources, and information on mental health and wellness.

The content provided through the Snapshots is for informational purposes only. It includes general information and does not specifically address the diverse child rearing challenges parents and caregivers may encounter.  Readers are encouraged to verify information and consider their individual circumstances when making decisions. The content is not a substitute for professional advice. 

*The term “parent” as used in the Snapshot is inclusive of anyone who is actively involved in raising a child, whether it be biological parents, grandparents, foster parents, guardians, or any other caretakers.
