As the beginning of another school year quickly approaches, our latest series, What To Know Before They Go: How To Support Our Youth will address issues related to academics, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and suicide - issues that plague an alarming number of teenagers. Each week we will interview experts in these areas to gain insight about these issues and to learn how to best support the struggling teens in our lives.

This week, we kick off the series with Special Guest Nawassa Logan, a counselor in the Columbia (MO) Public School District. As the 2022-2023 school year ended, Nawassa wrote a social media post about entitlement, the lack of accountability, and other problems plaguing public education. Join us as she unpacks these issues and offers insights into how we can all work to improve the situation. 

Special Guest: Nawassa Logan, LPC
Nawassa is the mother of three adult children with 23 years of experience as a school counselor.
