School restarts in a month, and if you have a child facing academic challenges, you may be asked to have them participate in “individual education plans,” or IEPs.

WINK News anchors Corey Lazar and Taylro Petras were joined by Peggy Jugmahansingh, a mental health navigator who works with students and helps their families navigate the IEP process.

For more information, you can visit the Kids Minds Matter website.
