Other places to turn

Sometimes the most meaningful support comes from people right in your community who know you and care about you. Consider connecting with:

• A School Counselor or Social Worker: Trained to help you navigate school stress, personal challenges, and mental health resources.
• A Trusted Healthcare Provider: Your family doctor or pediatrician can offer a confidential space to discuss physical and emotional well-being.
• A Trusted Adult or Mentor: A favorite teacher, coach, or family member who has your back and can listen without judgment.
