MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

Many mental health organizations across the country bring tools, resources, and education to the public to improve mental health. Below is the 2022 MHA Mental Health Toolkit where you can find helpful resources to support the mental health wellbeing of yourself, your staff, families, and students.

This month is also filled with many moments to celebrate accomplishments and plans for what's to come. As we rush through our days to complete the many tasks that come our way, we may miss opportunities to remain present for ourselves and one another. Take a moment to reflect on all the things you have learned, the challenges you have overcome, the ways you have evolved as an individual, and all that you have accomplished. We commend you on your service to your campus and district and each student you have touched.

Wishing you many mindful moments in May!

All our best,

Your Region One Counseling Team
