NORTH DAKOTA (KXNET<\/a>) \u2014 For teens, the thought of starting high school can feel overwhelming, but there are plenty of things they can do to get their mental health in a good place for the start of the school year.<\/p>\n

Being in a good head space is crucial for student success in school.<\/p>\n

However, according to data from The American Institute of Stress<\/a><\/strong>, 48% of high school students report feeling a great deal of stress on a daily basis. And 42% of teens don\u2019t know they can develop unhealthy habits due to stress.<\/p>\n

However, according to\u00a0Seattle Children\u2019s<\/a>, stress and anxiety can be greatly reduced in teens by limiting screen time, establishing a daily routine, and talking with someone about how their feelings.<\/p>\n

Health professionals advise teens that seeking resources out at school is a good way to get help.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think within the school system I know that counseling services and school counselors are a really great resource for kids working through mental health issues that might be manageable in that setting,\u201d said Danni Pinnick, the Immunization Surveillance coordinator at HHS.<\/p>\n

If you or your teen is having a mental health emergency you can reach for help by calling 988.<\/p>\n
