Counseling in later life isn’t just for coping with loss and illness – it can help people work through questions of identity and how they seek meaning in their lives.

Mobile phones have become part of just about everyone’s emergency infrastructure. But what do you do when the power and service go out?
Increasing flash flooding is exhausting communities as they’re hit again and again.
Sometimes they hear they’re supposed to stay active and engaged. Other times they’re vilified for holding on to power too long. It’s all made ‘knowing when it’s time’ a whole lot harder.
Approximately 52% of teachers in 2024 said they would not advise young adults to enter the profession.
Faculty members say they are worried about job security but also whether they should be introducing certain topics, like gender, in their class or with colleagues.
After a natural disaster, survivors often suffer from prolonged trauma for years to come, particularly in places where mental health services are few and far between.
As climate-related disasters grow more frequent and intense, one group remains dangerously underprepared: older adults. Planning should involve the entire family.
As students and teachers return to school after the fires, educators will have to focus on emotional rehabilitation before academic recovery can begin.
Floods, hurricanes, fires and pandemics are hard for any school district to deal with. But in rural districts the struggle to recover is even harder.
Educators can use social and emotional lessons to prepare young professionals to navigate communication and conflict in the workplace.
Mental health for teachers carries critical benefits for students.
