Resources for Parents

Parenting is not easy. Here we will share resources to help you nurture your students and encourage them to make choices that benefit them and those they care about. 

Below are links to an advisory from the US Surgeon General, Parents Under Pressure, and COMPACT’s Summer newsletter with lots of relevant information on current vape and drug trends and more.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Peace, Paint & Process

Today at Crossroads School, we hosted a special Art Enrichment group lesson titled “Peace, Paint, and Process.” We welcomed renowned artist and Hoover High School art instructor Ahmed Austin, who led students through a guided art project. Each student created their own unique piece to complete and take home by the end of the activity.

During the session, Brian Rodgers, our school counselor, shared five practical tips for self-regulation and stress management that students can apply in their everyday lives. This experience is designed to support both creative expression and emotional well-being.

🐾 Building Emotional Strength — One Friday and One Wag at a Time! 💙

At Crossroads School, our students participate in monthly group counseling sessions held every third Friday led by our Mental Health Counselor, focusing on important social and emotional skills such as stress reduction, self-regulation, and positive peer interactions.

We’re proud to partner with Hand in Paw, a local nonprofit whose mission is to improve human health and well-being through animal-assisted therapy. Their therapy teams join us each month, helping students feel calm, connected, and supported while they learn strategies to manage emotions and build resilience.

These sessions are a wonderful example of how we nurture both the hearts and minds of our students — with a little extra help from our furry friends! 🐕✨
