Unified Mental Health Team (UMHT) Updates:
Our next parent coffee will be this Monday, January 9th at 9am in the HPMS library. This workshop will be presented by Lauren Boyle, LCSW, Founder of NOVA LiveWellBeing. She will be discussing the inverse relationship between self worth and anxiety in middle school students. Many students at this age experience anxiety, some more than others. It is important for parents to know how anxiety can effect a students self worth, and how they can help to address it and lessen adverse effects. This workshop will be held at 9:00am in the HPMS library, if you would like to attend, please fill out this form.
