Welcome to Let’s Be Real, a column that will focus on mental health issues and topics, and how to be aware of them. In my column, you can expect to read about the mental health of students and how it’s affecting the atmosphere of the school and people’s home lives.
Posts covering sensitive topics will have trigger warnings.
This will be an interactive student column including polls, discussions, and certain topics regarding mental health awareness. This is a safe space for everyone to get together and discuss how they feel.
I’ll also be providing some tips on how to take care of yourself and your mental state, along with what affirmations students say to help themselves . This column aims to help bring awareness to student issues and to help give the resources to get help and reach out so that no one feels alone.
The next column being published will discuss how mental health has affected your attendance at school. If you’re interested in participating in this, it will be posted in Google Classroom, and there will be a short poll along with it.
