With around 50-60 counselors attending from Erie, Niagara, and Orleans County High Schools, we discussed the services BryLin offers while diving into our direct admissions process and how to potentially avoid inconveniences assocaited with CPEP. Additionally, I was able to share insights on Adolescent Depression and Anxiety, equipping counselors with tips to better support students in school.

Today, Friday, March 8th, I was honored to be part of the 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 staff development day. With approximately 30 social workers, counselors, school psychologists and teachers in attendance, we again be shed light on BryLin's services and direct admissions process. Plus, I provided guidance on Adolescent Anxiety, offering some practical suggestions for staff members to implement.

Both BryLin and I are very passionate about empowering our community to understand and address youth mental health challenges. Together, we can make a difference! 💪
