The topic will be Managing School Stress and Anxiety - A Panel Discussion about Challenges, Stress Management, and Family Resources. Special guest speaker, Tracy Ross from the Ackerman Institute for the Family, will discuss high school stressors, the work that family support can provide, and resources in the community for families.
