🚨new bonus episode🚨we cover how we can help create safe environments for students by validating their identity and acknowledging where they are academically, emotionally, socially, and mentally. It is okay to acknowledge that sometimes, things are not okay for students as they process the amount of pressure they face. This episode emphasizes the importance of allowing students to be exactly who they are and find the schools that will allow them to grow in the ways that contribute to student success rather than burn out. If your student or you need additional resources or support, please know that support is out there, and we are happy to help how we can.
