My Students

Help me give my students the ability to spread the word about the importance of ending the stigma of mental health to students in our school. Like everyone in the world, students in my school have experienced the loss of a fellow student, violence in their neighborhoods, and food insecurity. As a result, many are experiencing anxiety and depression, but they are afraid to receive support from social workers, therapists, and counselors because of the stigma attached mental health.

Students in my health class will create an ad campaign to end the stigma attached to mental health and encourage other students to receive the mental health support they need.

My Project

After completing a unit learning about mental and emotional health, students will create posters to place around the school advocating the end of stigma attached to receiving mental health supports.

Students creating the posters will learn how to advocate and support their friends and families who might be struggling with their mental health.

In addition, it is important that we norm for everyone in the building that anyone can need support and should receive it. Students will know where they can find mental health supports in the building and close by.
