Mental Health Awareness Month events for the week of May 25th!

05/20/2026

Throughout the school year, Duval County Public Schools District School Behavioral Health Team partnered with the VOICES Institute Selena Webster-Bass to host Mental Health Summits at high schools across the district💚

These summits provided students with valuable information and support through panel discussions, breakout sessions, and community resource fairs focused on mental health, wellness, and resilience.

Today, we concluded our final summit of the year at Frank H. Peterson. This year’s summits were also hosted at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, Andrew Jackson, and Riverside High School.

Thank you to our students, staff, community partners, and presenters for helping create meaningful conversations and promoting mental wellness across our schools.

Throughout the month of May, Duval County Public Schools across our district hosted Mental Health Resource Tables to promote wellness, self-care, and available supports for students💚

These events were led by our dedicated school counselors, school social workers, and Full Service Schools counselors, who work daily to support the mental health and well-being of our school communities. Thank you to all of our schools for helping create safe, supportive, and caring environments for every student.

Today our School Behavioral Health department hosted a Mental Health Resource Table focused on wellness and support at Duval County Public Schools💚

Staff participated in the Clothesline Project by writing positive mental health messages on T-shirts. We were also honored to have our very own Superintendent Bernier stop by and join in by creating an encouraging message.

Together, we continue promoting a culture of care, hope, and wellness across our district.
