Life transitions can bring excitement, hope, and new opportunities—but they can also create stress or anxiety. The back-to-school season is a perfect example. While children and teens may be adjusting to new teachers, schedules, classrooms, and expectations, parents, caregivers, college students, and educators are navigating transitions of their own.
