💜 Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the lives lost to overdose, stand beside the families and loved ones who carry that grief, and recognize every person who continues to fight for recovery.

As backpacks get packed and students head back to the classroom, it is also a good time to think about their emotional and mental health. 🎒

The transition back to school can bring excitement, but it can also bring anxiety, academic pressure, social challenges, changing routines, and other stressors.

Pennsylvania Counseling Services’ School-Based Mental Health Services make it easier for students to access professional support. Mental health providers can provide individual counseling on school grounds during the school day, helping reduce barriers for busy families while allowing students to receive care in a familiar setting.

If your child could benefit from additional support this school year, you don't have to wait for things to become overwhelming.
