A new guide for parents and caregivers

Every August, we help children prepare for a new school year.

We buy backpacks, sharpen pencils, label water bottles, and double-check class schedules.

Those things matter.

But the most important thing a child carries into a new school year isn't something that fits in a backpack.

It's knowing they have someone to turn to.

It's feeling like they belong.

It's believing they can handle what's ahead.

At Cathedral Home, we believe mental health isn't just something we protect in moments of crisis. It's something we build every day through relationships, routines, conversations, and connection.

That's why we've created our new Back to School Mental Health Guide for parents and caregivers.
