Managing Mental Health Through Back-to-School

from Healthy Illness Hosted by Kelly Marie

Ep.163 The backpacks are packed. The dorm rooms are set up. But while we spend so much time preparing our kids for what’s next…who’s preparing us for the change? Back-to-school season brings transitions for the entire family. Maybe you're putting your child on the school bus for the first time. Maybe they're starting high school, heading across the country to college, returning to campus after a summer at home, or stepping into adulthood in a completely different way. And sometimes their transition forces us to ask a few questions of our own: Who am I in this new season? What does my day look like now? How do I support them without losing myself in the process? In this episode of Healthy Illness, Kelly Marie shares practical ways to protect your mental health during seasons of change: acknowledge the transition instead of pretending it isn't happening, make room for both the excitement and the difficult emotions, and create new routines that help your brain adjust to a new normal.
