High school is hard. Jobs are hard. Extracurricular activities are hard. Friendships and relationships are hard. Add these all together and you've got the makings of a completely overwhelmed person.

Awareness is the number one way to intervene on these major issues. Take the time to refresh yourself on the what depression looks like. Also read this reminder from NAMI about where depression and anxiety can exhibit themselves.
Coping skills are also important interventions against exhaustion, burnout, anxiety and depression. Check out this story to learn why yoga works to relieve stress!
Barb Steinberg reminds us about the importance of sleep and how to make sure your child is getting the best sleep possible (while it's geared towards girls, all her suggestions apply toward boys as well!)
Finally, this is a free webinar geared towards learning how to Cope with Stress and Depression!
