About this episode
How can we take care of our mental health while navigating high school? In this episode, let's meet Mrs. Leanne Patterson-Shin, our school's upper school counselor, to talk about academic pressure, school culture, and what supporting student wellbeing in high school can actually look like!
Key takeaways
- 1

- 2
School culture can either amplify pressure or absorb it.
- 3
Support looks less like advice and more like being known.
