At Beyond the Classroom we are focused on supporting the whole child. We know that academic struggles do not happen in isolation and anxiety is a huge issue for many children. It can be as simple as worry or expand into a mental health issue in need of professional help. Although we are not counselors at Beyond the Classroom, we take the lens of seeing children as people first.
