... Read moreAs someone who has closely observed the role of mental health support in schools, I can attest to the increasing importance of having a dedicated school therapist. Many students face daily pressures ranging from academic stress to social challenges, which can sometimes feel overwhelming without proper support. School therapists provide a safe space for students to express their feelings and develop coping strategies. In my experience, even simple counseling sessions can reduce anxiety and improve students' focus and overall happiness. This kind of mental health care is often overlooked but truly essential in fostering a healthy learning environment. Interestingly, integrating playful or relatable elements such as games (like Exploding Kittens) in therapy sessions can engage younger students, making therapy more approachable and less intimidating. This creative approach helps build trust and encourages participation. Moreover, a school therapist plays a crucial role in identifying early signs of mental health issues, enabling timely intervention. This proactive support can prevent problems from escalating, contributing to better educational outcomes. In summary, from personal observations and shared stories among educators and students, the presence of a school therapist is not just a luxury but a necessity in today's school systems. They help manage the horrible stresses students face and provide essential emotional support that often goes unnoticed but deeply impacts lives.

Things that actually help with AuDHD burnout (from an AuDHD therapist)
AuDHD burnout isn’t just being tired. It’s a full-system depletion that affects energy, emotions, sensory tolerance, and executive functioning all at once. And for many women, it builds slowly over months of pushing through, masking, and managing more than your nervous system was designed to hold.
