Change is difficult and isolating. The transition from high school to college was no different. Leaving home and moving to a different state while experiencing a complete social reset certainly impacted how I understood mental health.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

Self-care has become one of the most talked about topics in the conversation of mental health. It dominates the online discourse, has found niches in countless industries, and has helped remove some of the stigmas around taking care of your well-being, whether it be through therapy, journaling, or even just resting.

If you ask most leaders who their most expensive employee is their mind usually goes straight to the person they pay the most. But that’s frequently not true.
