MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH MONTH

From our Counselor and Mental Health Specliast:

Mental health refers to a person’s mental and emotional well-being. In recent years, it has become apparent how important mental health is because it affects all aspects of an individual’s life, including how they feel, think, and act. By teaching students about mental health awareness and the month which commemorates it, there will undoubtedly be less of a stigma. Additionally, students may learn some strategies for improving their own mental health and information they can use to better understand themselves and those around them.

 

Myford will be celebrating Mental Health Month this May with a week of activities May 15-19.
