Teen Mental Health
The start of summer brings a sense of excitement for many teens. Take a moment to reflect back to your teen years. As we reminisce, we can likely all say that our adolescent years were a unique and informative time of our life. Mental wellbeing habits are often formed during this time as teens strengthen their social and emotional skills, laying a foundation of habits for the rest of their life. Consider what habits you perhaps formed during this time and what supports you had or needed when you were a teen.
SNAP Next Step
Make government work with proven Nebraska solutions that are ready for America. That is my mission as your U.S. Senator.

I sensed there was no changing her mind and that meant trouble for my patient.
