That you are learning and taking chances to accomplish great things? Maybe stress can be a good thing?

“… pursuing a “stress-free” life often causes more stress down the line—problems compound, and by failing to face our most intense challenges we never overcome them.”

What do you think?

August 31, 2015 By Leave a Comment

Teachers are often in a unique, and difficult, position of identifying students who need help. Teachers can also play an important role in creating a mentally healthy school environment for kids and youth. What do you think about this initiative?
