Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students in my advisory are researching mental health diseases and factors that contribute to protecting their mental health. This project engages students in a comprehensive inquiry focused on mental health awareness and education. Students will choose and read a book centered on mental health topics, allowing them to explore and understand various mental health issues in a meaningful and personalized way. Through guided research and independent reading, students will develop presentations to educate peers, staff, or community members on their chosen topic, fostering a compassionate, informed community.

This project aims to improve literacy skills while destigmatizing mental health discussions, encouraging empathy, and equipping students with the knowledge to support themselves and others.

Funding will cover diverse book options, mental health resources, and materials to support students’ presentations and broader community outreach.
