Back to School

Tools and resources to ensure a successful return to school for parents and young people.

Beginning a new school year usually comes with some anxiety, but in today’s uncertain times students may need a lot more support, reassurance, and comfort before they’re ready to learn. As you prepare, it’s important to ensure that youth and young adults have the tools to make SAFE Choices. SAFE Project has created these resources to help parents prepare and their young learners succeed.

In 2020, 17% of adolescents ages 12-17 had a major depressive episode, and 2.7% had a co-occurring MDE and a substance abuse disorder in the past year.
