If You’re Not Okay: What to Do Next with Skyland Trail
In this episode, we talk with Piper Coffey, VP of Adolescent Clinical Services at Skyland Trail, for Mental Health Awareness Month, to talk about something many students experience but don’t always know how to navigate, what to do when you’re struggling, or when someone you care about is.
From high-pressure expectations to feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself, we break down how to recognize when something’s off and what steps you can take next. We also talk about how to support a friend without taking on everything yourself, and when it’s time to involve a trusted adult or seek additional help.
This conversation is designed to be real, practical, and supportive. So whether you’re going through something right now or want to be there for someone else, you’ll leave with tools, clarity, and a reminder that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
