Last month students participated in our week-long Fresh Check Day event! Each day a new interactive booth was added that promotes mental health check-ins. Topics included learning how to help a struggling friend, the benefits of volunteering, artistic expression and inspiration.
Whether you prefer drawing, coloring, painting, music, dance, creative writing, sculpting, collage, or photography, expressing yourself through the arts reduces stress, anxiety and blood pressure and boosts the immune system.
The "It Takes A Village" booth focused on on connectedness through volunteering and sharing your talents. Being a helper can lift others up, and it can boost your spirits as well!
Did you know that 1 in 10 students contemplates suicide? That leaves 9 out of 10 who can reach out and help someone. Students learned about how to be one of the nine.
