Young Adults Are Reporting Higher Stress Levels — What It Means for Families and Communities
Recent national reporting highlights a concerning trend: young adults are experiencing higher stress levels amid the ongoing U.S. mental health crisis. While stress is a normal part of life, chronic or overwhelming stress can significantly impact emotional well-being, physical health, academic performance, and relationships.
For families, educators, and community leaders, this moment calls for deeper awareness — and proactive support.
At Child Guidance Resource Centers (CGRC), we see firsthand how stress, uncertainty, and pressure affect adolescents and young adults. The good news? Early recognition and supportive intervention can make a meaningful difference.
The Lasting Impact of Bullying on Children — and How We Can Respond
The Lasting Impact of Bullying on Children
Bullying is more than just hurtful words or actions—it can leave scars that last well beyond childhood. Whether it happens in school hallways, on the playground, or online, bullying disrupts a child’s sense of safety and belonging, often shaping the way they see themselves and the world around them.
Representation in Therapy Matters
At Child Guidance Resource Centers (CGRC), our mission is driven by our core values: Respect, Compassion, Integrity, Efficiency, Excellence, and Quality. These values guide our approach to mental health and educational services, ensuring that every child, family, and community we serve receives the highest level of care and support.
We recognize that fostering a sense of belonging is essential for individuals facing mental health challenges. When clients see themselves reflected in their therapists, educators, and support systems, it fosters trust, comfort, and openness—essential elements for healing and growth.
For our clients of color, having a therapist who shares their racial or cultural background can be particularly impactful.
