Topic of the MonthMay
Mental Health & Emotional Wellness
Mental health affects how you think, feel, and handle stress. Ongoing sadness, anxiety, anger, isolation, or thoughts of self-harm are serious — and help is available. This month encourages students to break stigma, check in on friends, and ask for support when needed.
What You Can Do
- Check in on friends — listen without judgment.
- Practice healthy coping skills.
- Take breaks from social media if needed.
- Reach out if you're struggling — that's strength.
Get Involved at School
- Start a 'You Matter' campaign.
- Create a gratitude or affirmation wall.
- Host a counselor Q&A about stress and coping skills.
- May is National Mental Health Awareness Month — host us for a free presentation.
