Spotted this week on the walls at Mary Persons High School!! We want to give major props to the student or teacher who took the time to make this! They put words to the reality that life can feel unbearably heavy, and wanted to remind the person walking past it that there are people who will listen, help, and stay.

We hope every person who passes this poster knows this: needing help is not weakness. Saying “I’m not okay” takes courage. Reaching out to a friend, talking to your doctor, making that call to the therapist’s office, or using 988 are all acts of courage, too.

Sometimes courage doesn’t look like feeling brave at all. Sometimes courage is choosing to stay one more hour, one more day and for one more conversation.

We see you. We’re grateful you’re here. And if any of the therapists at Arena have been or might be a part of your journey, you should know: it’s an honor to bear witness to your courage!

September is Su***de Prevention Month. 💜

Prevention can look like checking in, listening without judgment, staying connected, and knowing when to reach out for help yourself.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to carry it alone. You don’t need the perfect words. You just need to start somewhere.

Call or text 988 for support, or reach out to someone you trust.

Let’s make space for these conversations, not just in September, but all year long.

We hope everyone’s first week back to school has been exciting and fun! Some of our therapists had a blast at the Back to School Rally this past weekend, handing out free school supplies to approximately 600 of you! 📓 ✏️ 🖍️

While school supplies help students learn, we want to remind you that emotional well-being helps them thrive! Confidence, resilience, and support are just as important as notebooks and pencils.

The beginning of a school year is a big adjustment! Kids (and caregivers, too!) often need a little time to find their footing. New routines, new teachers, and new expectations can bring out big feelings, so give it a few weeks and plenty of grace as everyone settles in.

If, after that adjustment period, you’re noticing your child is struggling with confidence, anxiety, friendships, emotional regulation, behavior, or any of the challenges mentioned in this post, we’d love to come alongside your family. Sometimes a little extra support can make all the difference.

Here at Arena Counseling, caring for kids and teens is one of our greatest joys. Our clinicians specialize in working with children and adolescents, and we offer evening and weekend appointments to fit busy school schedules.

If you’re wondering whether counseling might be a good next step, give us a call. We’d be happy to answer your questions and help you decide what feels right for your family. 478-992-0305

Here’s to a wonderful school year filled with growth, courage, and great connections! ❤️

A new school year can bring excitement, change, and sometimes stress. As you prepare your backpack, don’t forget to take care of yourself too. Small habits like getting enough sleep, eating regularly, and practicing self-compassion can make a big difference. Wishing all students, families, and educators a wonderful school year! 📚✏️🍎

🌟 It’s Not Too Late to Join! 🌟

Did your rising 6th grader miss the first session of our counseling group? No worries, they’re still welcome to join us for tomorrow’s meeting!

Our group is designed to help students build confidence, make connections, and prepare for the transition into middle school in a supportive environment.

Just give us a call, text, or email to let us know they’ll be attending. Any remaining paperwork can be completed afterward, we don’t want paperwork to keep your child from participating!
