NAMI Back to School Resources – Building Resilience

Going back to school can bring many big feelings. Students and families may feel excitement, anxiety, fear, and more as they return to school year routines. We’ve updated our Back to School resources to help parents and caregivers, educators, and students navigate back to school time, together.

With these resources any supportive adult can help young people develop positive mental health habits. We encourage all trusted adults to use the practical strategies, advice, and quick tips to foster meaningful conversations with students about their mental health.

For Parents and Caregivers: Learn how to create safe spaces for your children to talk about mental health and challenges they face while fostering mental wellness habits as a family.

For Educators and Youth Serving Professionals: Ensure you’re prepared to support students by knowing warning signs and cultivating emotional wellness skills within your classrooms and beyond.

For Students: These resources are designed to help students gain crucial, lifelong skills to plan for crises, prevent burnout, prioritize commitments, and more – all so young people know how to access care they need, when they need it.

Building Student Resilience Through Shared Resources

As we gear up for the new school year, we understand the importance of mental health for students, parents, and educators. That’s why we are adding to our comprehensive youth mental health resource library this back to school season. Navigating the challenges of academics, social dynamics, and personal growth can be overwhelming but, together, we can build a resilient and thriving community. Our resources aim to support educators, guide parents, and empower students on their mental health journey during the school year and beyond.
