The holiday season is often the most stressful time for students. At CityPrep, we prioritize proactive check-ins to support students through family tensions and academic deadlines.

Why the Holidays Are Hard

From academic pressure to family complexity, the gap between expectation and reality is wide. For more on supporting student wellbeing, see our guide on grounding techniques. You can find crisis resources on the 988 Lifeline website.

What Counselors Can Do

Normalize the complexity and provide concrete coping tools. For more on communicating with families, read our post on talking to your teen.
