How healthy are our students?
March 15, 2019
If a student had a heart condition or other life threatening illness we would do whatever we could to help them get better and make sure they were on their way to a happy, healthy and productive life. Why does our society not treat mental health concerns in the same way?
This week we focused on our students' mental health with an assembly by national speaker Hakeem Rahim. His message of hope and resilience was well received by the faculty and staff and I hope comforting to our students who be overwhelmed by the daily pressures of being a teenager in today's world. If your Titan needs help, please reach out to us here at school. We have school counselors, social workers, school psychologists and a very caring staff who want to help. I have also included some information from the American Association for Suicide Prevention below.
