It's a Win for Mental Health

For everyone to benefit from this project, we will need a win-win mindset and a drive to solve this problem. Mental health awareness and resources provided on school campuses will benefit students, parents, and educators. Young students spend most of their time in school, so having mental health discussions empowers them to get help if needed (Barile, 2021).

With this passion, we value allowing every young student to grow with all the support that is needed. We have the chance to use our values to solve a global issue that impacts all ages and give teachers the training they need to support this goal. This will give students access to understand their emotions and know where and how to seek help at a young age.

To demand mental health awareness and resources on school campuses, we need to consider the people who will need to support this. There is always controversy over what should be discussed in classrooms with young students, so we need to consider the different views that will impact our project. Since mental health impacts all ages, discussing this in class will allow students to understand and teachers to have the tools to support them (Hippe, 2022). Providing training for teachers and identifying problems early on is the best solution to fixing this issue.

If you are passionate about the need for mental health resources, join me in my project to spread awareness and demand resources on school campuses. The mental health crisis impacts people of all ages and needs to be supported at younger ages. What are your thoughts about how this issue is viewed by others? What suggestions do you have to balance other people's views with yours?
