MAY is Mental Health Awareness Month!
May 7-13, 2023 = National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week
2023 Key Findings (https://www.mhanational.org/issues/state-mental-health-america)
- 8 in 10 youth mental health specialist say social media is fueling a mental health crisis
- In the U.S., there are an estimated 350 individuals for every one mental health provider. However, these figures may actually be an overestimate of active mental health professionals, as it may include providers who are no longer practicing or accepting new patients.
- 11.5% of youth (or over 2.7 million youth) are experiencing severe major depression. Rates of a severe major depressive episode were highest among youth who identified as more than one race, at 16.5% (about 123,000 youth).
- Children who were discriminated against based on race or ethnicity had higher percentages of one or more physical health conditions (37.8% versus 27.1%), and one or more mental health conditions (28.9% versus 17.8%).6
- Racial/ethnic discrimination was almost seven times as common among children with three other ACEs compared to those with no other ACEs.6
Announcements/Week Ahead
An update from Sunshine - A sympathy card was sent to Turi Cebula for the loss of her dad. Our sincerest condolences go out to Turi and her family during this difficult time.
Upcoming Field Trips
Wellness Day Schedule Wednesday, May 3rd: Wellness Day Altered Schedule 5/3/23
Reminders - As we enter the last month, please maintain expectations that have been in place all year long. Specifically - a reminder that you should not be excusing students until the bell rings. We've had some instances of students causing distractions in the hallways after being let out early. This causes a distraction for some and also places colleagues who are following the expectation in a tough place. Thank you for your attention to this.
PD - Friendly reminder that all PD must be entered and approved in Frontline by 5-15-2023.
