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 β€” 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.

What a wonderful day for our 5th grade graduation!!! We will miss this group so much. They hold a very special place in our hearts!!

Other classes had such wonderful award programs. The awards were heartfelt and given to show the personality and individual qualities of the students.

I appreciate the work our staff pours into every event to ensure students feel valued and parents have the opportunity to celebrate their children. Thank you to West staff!!

Parents, thank you for sharing your children with us this year and for the support, trust and partnership you have shown along the way.

Early wishing you a great summer but feeling all nostalgic today and don’t want to miss the opportunity before some take off for vacations.

Tomorrow is water day !!!! So we still have some fun left in us!! We wish you all a wonderful and safe summer!!
Much love and gratitude!!
