August can feel like a pressure cooker for teens. The slower pace of summer is coming to an end, school is right around the corner, and for many young people, there’s a quiet (or not-so-quiet) sense of dread building beneath the surface.

Maybe your teen is feeling anxious about grades or friend groups. Maybe they’re dreading early mornings or dealing with body image stress as they head back into more social settings. Even if they don’t say much, you may notice changes in their mood or behavior this time of year.
