Back to school isn’t always simple. Friendships can change, schoolwork can feel more demanding, and figuring out where you fit in can take time. As you head into a new school year, remember: you don’t need to have everything figured out right away. #LetourneauCHILDLab
Back to school can come with a lot of changes. ✏️📚 Having a few go-to supports can make those first weeks feel a little easier. Save this Back-to-School Survival Kit for a reminder of what can help you feel supported as you settle into the new school year! #LetourneauCHILDLab
Our brains are wired for connection! When we talk to someone calm and supportive, it helps us feel safe and lowers stress. This is called co-regulation, and it even releases oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone. Talking to someone really does help! 💬✨ #LetourneauCHILDLab
Happy International Youth Day! 🌟 Today we celebrate the energy, creativity, and resilience of youth. Their voices matter and their actions shape our future. Let’s invest in youth by supporting their well-being, education, and leadership. #LetourneauCHILDLab
