Of Interest: Going Back to School

Family Guide Logo As the days of summer wind down, kids are heading back to school. For parents, teachers, and caregivers, the start of the school year is often exciting, but it can be difficult for kids of all ages. Peer pressure, bullying, and social anxieties can take their toll on kids in hallways and classrooms. Practical information is available for you as your child moves from basking in the summer sun to zippering up a backpack. Whether kids are starting second grade or senior year, resources are available to keep them mentally healthy and drug free.

Check out the Back to School section of SAMHSA's "Family Guide" for ways to make the best out of school time for your children.
