Google Mental Health Initiative: Advanced Academics Department Miami Southridge

Funded Sep 17, 2024

I wanted to send a huge thank you for the donations provided to create our Advanced Academics Mental Health corner! This space now provides a quiet area for advanced academics students to sit and recharge during their busy days. The snacks provided here have come in handy throughout the school day but also during our afterschool tutoring sessions. Students particularly love the tea offerings, saying that this provides them with that little bit of calm they need to regroup after studying.

For so many Southridge food and even daily hygiene items are hard to come by but with this little corner we've been able to provide deodorant, feminine products, even bandages free of charge. These are all one less worry for our students, they know that they can always come to my office if they need any items or a quick break from class.

So again, thank you so very much for helping to create this safe space for my students, I know that the impacts a of these contributions will be far reaching and hopefully inspire all my students to make sure they prioritize their mental health.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Martinez
