The world feels heavy sometimes — and scrolling can make it feel even heavier. 💭💔

That’s why self-care isn’t selfish — it’s necessary. 💙 Put your phone down, hang with a friend, blast your favorite song, take a walk, or just rest. Whatever helps you recharge matters. 🌟

Today is National Su***de Prevention Day. As of August 8th, Sedgwick County has experienced 32 su***des this year, with 10 more across the rest of Kansas.

At Maize USD 266, we are committed to supporting su***de prevention through multiple layers of care. Along with our school social workers and counselors, we have a Mental Health Intervention Team (MHIT) that includes behavioral health liaisons, district-employed therapists, and Comcare therapists and case managers.

🧠This year, our high school liaisons launched a new student-led club, 266 Real Talk, to encourage open conversations and reduce the stigma around mental health. We’re also offering parent education events, beginning with a focus on su***de prevention. Stay tuned for more information! 💚💛 *stat from Sedgwick County Medical Examiner's Office
