May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
A huge part of what counselors do is: (1) teach our students the skills and strategies they need to boost and protect their mental health and (2) take the stigma out of seeking help.
Please contact a member of the mental health team if you believe your child is struggling with any of the following mental health warning signs:
- changes in school performance and attendance
- mood changes
- complaints of illness before school
- increased disciplinary problems at school
- problems at home or with the family situation (e.g., stress, trauma, divorce, substance abuse, exposure to poverty conditions, domestic violence)
- communication from teachers about problems at school
- dealing with existing mental health concerns

The Hidden in Plain Sight (HIPS) program is an IN-PERSON interactive program for adults to be educated about the signs of risky behavior in teens and young adults. It touches on drug and alcohol use, mental health concerns, eating disorders, risky sexual behaviors and more.
The PowerPoint presentation details red flags (props will be passed around) and how they are indicative of — or used in — risky behavior. We include up to date statistics and local trends, and law enforcement officers will share their experiences they have had in our community identifying risky behavior and helping to put kids on the right path to a healthy life. Let’s open the door to communicating with our teens!
