”Mental health education can be integrated into academics and classwork in a way that doesn’t overly burden teachers. For example, a Social Studies lesson may identify and discuss mental health topics (e.g., trauma, stigma) in books that students are reading. Younger students may learn about how to identify, describe, and manage emotions, while older students may learn about and discuss social implications of different mental health issues." ~ Yunsoo Park and Jennifer Nakamura

The incorporation of mental health awareness education in classes will provide students with the chance to have open conversations about the difficulties they may be facing and provide the proper resources for addressing their issues.

The statistics of childhood mental health disorders can no longer be ignored. By adding mental health awareness classes into students’ curriculum, more children will be able to identify the early signs of mental health disorders, whether that be within themselves or maybe their friends/peers! Additionally, students will know about the resources and coping techniques that are available to them if they are struggling with their mental health.
