Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness month. To help promote this within our building, the Twain Student Services and Clinical team is sharing one mental health tip with students each day via the morning news. Also, next week we will be promoting overall wellness and stress-reduction with our Wellness Week Initiative through all lunches. Each day during lunches, counselors will lead students through a variety of wellness-focused activities (students may choose not to participate if they don’t wish to).  In addition, we will be sharing one tip per week in the KIT (see below for Wellness Week descriptions and this week’s tip). If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s school counselor.
