The Learning Corner
I'd like every PGHS Team member to view this video sometime in the next week. Click on the video below.
I know this video is in an elementary setting, but it applies directly to HS.
This video is a powerful reminder for all educators on our influence as a teacher.
Minding Your Mind Assembly
8:30 a.m. 11th and 12th grade
12:30 p.m. 9th and 10th grade
Minding Your Mind’s (MYM) primary objective is to provide mental health education to adolescents, teens and young adults, their parents, teachers and school administrators. Our goal is to reduce the stigma and destructive behaviors often associated with mental health issues. Treatment is available, yet only 3 out of 10 individuals needing help actually seek help. Minding Your Mind Programs move away from crisis based response to prevention through education.
