Extreme anxiety can lead to school avoidance in teens, which isn’t the same as skipping class due to other behavioral problems.

When a teen starts avoiding school, that’s a sign that they need professional support. Early detection and treatment can help reduce missed class time.

School anxiety is treatable, and families can learn how to manage it together. If you think your teen might have an anxiety condition, seeking an assessment and treatment from a licensed clinician should be your first step.

Lightfully can help you create a plan for managing your teen’s symptoms at home and at school. Contact our Admissions Concierge Team today.

SA is especially common on college campuses. Approximately 26% of undergraduate women and 7% of undergraduate men experience non-consensual sexual contact during college.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen in their healing journey. Needs after a traumatic experience are unique, and finding care that honors those differences can make a meaningful impact.

Finding care providers who are a good fit helps ensure the best therapeutic experience. At Lightfully, our licensed clinicians take a trauma-informed and compassionate approach. Clients are seen as people first, with holistic services that support the whole person. Virtual Services are also available to make treatment more convenient and affordable for college students.

Take action against negative emotions with these three self-help strategies that can improve your emotional and mental well-being.

1️⃣ Start a journal: Many mental health professionals often recommend journaling as a coping mechanism for negative feelings as well as an avenue for expressing yourself without judgment.

2️⃣ Plan an activity with friends: Strong social connections are linked to lower risk of depression, anxiety, and certain chronic conditions.

3️⃣ Try incorporating regular exercise: By exercising for approximately 30 minutes each day, you’re boosting the levels of serotonin in your brain to regulate your mood and reduce negative emotions.

Can something as simple as your diet make a difference with depression? It might help (but we know that depression is never simple).

Depression takes many forms. You can use our guide to better understand your symptoms, investigate your mental health and consider treatment.

While you’re managing your symptoms, you might try to reduce them with lifestyle changes. These may include additions or changes to your diet.

Eating a healthy diet may help you resist depression. It may improve other parts of your health, too. However, it’s important to take a comprehensive approach to depression with the assistance of physical and mental health care providers.

You can turn to Lightfully for mental health care online or in person. Visit our website to learn more today!

The loss of a pregnancy can bring grief and a wide range of emotional responses. Each experience is different. The most powerful support you can offer after a miscarriage isn’t the perfect words; it’s your consistent presence and willingness to hold space for their grief.

Let’s talk about what you’re noticing and how we can help. Together we can all light fully.
