When school feels hard, social parts can feel harder. Our new blog explains what “struggling socially” looks like in everyday life, why it happens, and small steps you can start this week to help your teen.

This blog explains:
• Common signs at school and after school, from avoiding group work to after school meltdowns
• Why patterns like anxiety, ADHD, learning differences, autism traits, grief, or bullying can fuel social stress
• A simple plan you can try now, including validation first, building regulation, and one small social script
• How to partner with teachers using a short, clear email and a calm exit plan

If your teen needs extra support, WTCSB can help. Learn more about our school support program (SCIP) and mental health counseling for teens.
