For any incoming freshmen, the start of a new school can be filled with anxiety. For students who find navigating the school environment challenging, these anxieties are amplified. Finding their way around a huge school, unsure of the written and unwritten rules, coping with a confusing rotating schedule, understanding what extra-curricular opportunities exist, and meeting a whole new group of students can cause extra stress and can become barriers to learning.

Resiliency for Life’s (https://resiliencyforlife.org/) annual summer program is aimed at relieving some of their anxieties, easing their transition to high school as well as giving them a chance to meet fellow students and staff in the program. The program ran for 4 hours per day for 6 days from July 19th through the 28th.

Since the program is voluntary, these are students who WANT help, but change is hard. They started to learn that the RFL staff is there to support them both academically and emotionally, and they also got to know Nala, the program's trained assistance dog.

Your support makes our work possible.

With gratitude.
