Specifically they cover:

* The interesting story behind how Challenge Success got its name (and how it involves a grown up shadowing students for a full year)* Some staggering statistics about what contributes to student stress being so high, including the results of a survey that includes over 175,000 students* Two of the biggest contributors to student stress (according to students!!), and how Challenge Success is working with students, parents and schools to address these issues* The myth that the more selective colleges will bring you more “success” in life* Practical tips for parents for how to support student wellbeing,* and more!
