SNAPSHOTS – Supporting Our Students by Supporting Those Who Care For Them

Snapshots provide a wide range of mental health and wellness information and resources to support students and families as they navigate their way through the K-12 years. The information in the Snapshots offers the opportunity for parents and caregivers to initiate conversations with their child(ren) that will assist them in making positive decisions about their mental and physical well-being.

October’s Snapshot aims to provide helpful information for parents and caregivers to support their children in navigating their friendships and dating relationships.

Making friends is a vital part of growing up and an important part of social and emotional development. Healthy relationships provide a sense of belonging and can help build self-esteem and confidence. Children and youth with authentic friendships learn how to resolve conflicts and build social competence.
