We’re incredibly proud to see Nick featured in MPR News today for the work he does with students every single day.

The article highlights something we witness firsthand: when students are struggling with anxiety, grief, or the weight of everyday life, Nick creates spaces where they feel heard, supported, and seen.

His approach isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about building trust, showing consistency, and helping young people reconnect with their own strength.

In a moment when school-based mental health resources are stretched thin, Nick’s presence has become a lifeline for students who might otherwise fall through the cracks.

We’re grateful the story captured even a small part of the impact he makes.

Our team is lucky to have him, and students are too.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the people who keep showing up, for themselves, for their communities, for each other. For the moments of courage, the small wins, the honest conversations that change a life. For the families, friends, volunteers, and neighbors who listen, support, and never give up.

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey, and for showing that real change happens one step, one connection, one choice at a time.

Is your teen acting differently lately? 💭
Sudden mood swings, slipping grades, or isolation could be early signs of substance use.

Awareness is the first step toward prevention.
