Real Talk Intervention is back! We took a summer hiatus to refresh our hearts and souls and prepare to return to school, intervention, and podcasting. But it's August now, school is back in swing, and on today's episode we discuss how to get a great start to the new year.

Start the year out right - subscribe to Real Talk Intervention on iTunes and Stitcher this year for inspiring content for your high school at-risk learners.
