Educators, this one is for you. 🍎
You spend more waking hours with students than almost anyone in their lives. You are uniquely positioned to notice when something has shifted — before parents do, and sometimes before the teen realizes it themselves.
Here are 7 behavioral signs a student may be struggling with mental health 👉
1️⃣ Sudden drop in grades or effort
2️⃣ Withdrawing from friends and activities
3️⃣ Increased irritability or outbursts
4️⃣ Frequent absences or nurse visits
5️⃣ Trouble concentrating or "checked out"
6️⃣ Changes in appearance or hygiene
7️⃣ Comments about hopelessness or worthlessness
You don't need a diagnosis to take action.
