(BPRW) Empowering Our Scholars – Celebrating National Back to School Month

(Black PR Wire) Back to school season is just around the corner, and for many families, the transition from summer to school can be stressful, whether or not mental health challenges have been part of their experience before. But with the right support, families can ease this adjustment and set the tone for a positive school year.

For students, establishing a routine is key. Getting back to consistent sleep and meal schedules starting two weeks before school begins can help their bodies and minds adjust. Preparing ahead of time, such as attending school orientations or exploring the school website, can also help reduce first-day jitters.

Just as important is making space for self-care. Whether it’s reading, exercising, or spending time with loved ones, these activities help maintain balance. Students can also benefit from creating a study schedule and setting up a dedicated, personalized study space to reduce stress.

Parents play an essential role in supporting their children’s mental wellness during this transition. Open, honest communication helps kids feel safe sharing their feelings. Modeling self-care, setting limits on screen time, and monitoring social media use can help create healthy habits.

Above all, remember, it’s okay to ask for help. School counselors and mental health resources are there to support both students and families. Prioritizing mental wellness alongside academics helps empower scholars to thrive both in and out of the classroom.
