Upcoming Webinar: Supporting Boys: Mental Health Strategies for Young Men
When the boys in your life shut down, act out, or seem to be struggling beneath the surface, it can be hard to know how to help. Many parents and caregivers wonder how to start the conversation — and how to make it stick.
Join Cartwheel and Chris Smith, LCSW, CGP, psychotherapist and Director of the Looking Ahead program, for a free live webinar: Supporting Boys: Mental Health Strategies for Young Men on Tuesday, June 4 from 12–1 pm ET.
Parents and caregivers will learn practical strategies to recognize the signs of mental health challenges in boys and young men, understand why struggles often go unspoken, and open the door to connection and support at home. Chris will also share how everyday relationships and routines can play a powerful role in a young man's emotional wellbeing.

Congratulations to Ms. Jamison for being recognized as an Outstanding Clinical Educator for hosting an intern from Western Carolina University this school year!
Her dedication, guidance, and support helped create a meaningful learning experience for a future educator, and we are so proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition. Thank you for investing in the next generation of teachers! ✨
While we are thankful for the impact he made as a teacher assistant, we are even more grateful that he chose to become a classroom teacher. As he finishes his first year teaching, we’ve loved watching him continue to make a difference in the lives of students each day.
Congratulations, Mr. Jamison! We are proud to have you as part of our school family! 🍎
