Mental Health Awareness Month: Resources to Help Students and Families
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health takes many forms and is closely connected to how we think about ourselves, show up in our relationships and friendships, function at school or work, and the quality of our physical health. There has been an increase of poor mental health, especially among young people, that started before, and grew during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health conditions are at pandemic levels now. We want to share some ideas for helping the children and youth you entrust to us during the school day.
