Mental Health Awareness Days - Leonardtown High School will be hosting Mental Health Awareness activities during one lunch on December 12th and 13th. One in 5 Americans is affected by mental health conditions. Stigma is toxic to their mental health because it creates an environment of shame, fear and silence that prevents many people from seeking help and treatment. The perception of mental illness won’t change unless we act to change it.
