In this Voices of Compassion podcast, we talk with Dr. Pardis Khosravi, Clinical Director and Licensed Psychologist at CHC, about academic pressure and its impact on teens.
Where do these demands come from?
It could be various sources including schools, peers, and societal expectations. Recognizing the signs that a student is on overload is crucial for parents and caregivers, so we’ll discuss key indicators such as changes in behavior, mood swings, and declining academic performance.
Additionally, we’ll examine the profound effects of academic pressure on mental health and overall well-being. Most importantly, we’ll offer practical strategies to build resilience and how parents can foster a healthy balance between academic success and personal well-being.
Tune in to learn how to help your teen thrive both in and out of the classroom.
