As our kids are now back to school, we wanted to take this time to offer a mental health check-in for parents to check on their kids' stress levels and general mental health as they begin a new school year.

We are joined by licensed therapist and social worker, David Gray, MSW, LCSW.

David works for the Lanier Practice and he offers tons of insights for parents of school-aged kids.
