Skipper--One super-cute way to address anxiety!

Below is a picture of Skipper, the Nock Therapy Dog. Skipper is a natural with middle school students and staff! He knows just how to bring a smile to even the most grumpy person. Schools across the country are noticing an increase in student anxiety, and many, like the Nock, are working to help students learn strategies to manage anxiety. Skipper is a part of a larger approach that includes anxiety reduction classes during Flex, fidget tools in the classroom, and "mindful moments" embedded in the school day.
