❄️ After the Snow Days: Checking In on Our Youth ❄️
Long stretches of cold weather, being stuck indoors, and school closures can take a real toll on young people. Some youth may experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or winter-related blues during times like this.
⚠️ Signs to watch for may include:
• Low energy or fatigue
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Irritability or withdrawal from friends/family
• Trouble concentrating or lack of motivation
• Feeling down or hopeless for days at a time
💛 How we can help:
• Encourage time outdoors when it’s safe, even for short walks
• Stick to routines as school resumes
• Check in often and really listen
• Remind youth they’re not alone and it’s okay to ask for help
If a young person is struggling or feeling overwhelmed, support is available. You can call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline—free, confidential, and available 24/7.

In addition to the human toll drunk driving takes every year, the financial impact is devastating. Remember: impaired driving is preventable.
