Overcoming the Stigma of Mental Health

Help me give my students tools that overcome the stigma around mental health

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. L's classroom raised $289

This project is fully funded

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

I am hoping to get help getting tools that will catch student's attention when I do activities that help overcome the stigma that exists around mental health.

For example, fairy lights will be used to create a mood in the calm space, the spinning wheel will attract more students to the folding tables where I display trivia cards and other information about mental health.

The Totika game is a fun way to learn and engage with mental health education.

Mental Health Awareness Month will be highlighted at our school during the 2nd or 3rd week of May, and I plan on using these tools to attract more attention. Though students recognize that they need help and would benefit from talking with a professional, the barrier to seeking help is a big issue. I'm hoping to normalize the need to take care of our mental health, as much as we need to care for our bodies.
