Minding Your Mind Presentation
On January 11th, Bishop Shanahan High School students had the opportunity to hear from young adult speakers Lucas and Kelly from "Minding Your Mind." This organization is dedicated to ending stigma and destructive behaviors associated with mental health issues, moving away from a crisis-based response to prevention through education. Through the power of first-hand storytelling, they provide evidence-based education on mental health challenges to their audiences. Their inspiring programs create safe communication spaces to discuss signs and symptoms often associated with mental health challenges and how to address them. |
