This session addresses the growing mental health concerns among high school students, with 42% reporting feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2021, up from 28% in 2011. We will explore the barriers young people face in seeking help, particularly the stigma that may differ from adult experiences.


Participants will learn effective strategies to encourage help-seeking behaviors and discover best practices for supporting students through emotional challenges. Join us to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for youth mental health!
