The heartbreaking incident at #SirongaGirlsHighSchool highlights the urgent need for better mental health support for students. Mental health challenges are often overlooked in educational settings, yet they play a crucial role in students' overall well-being. It's vital to introduce more counseling sessions in schools to provide students with the resources and support they need to navigate their mental health challenges. Let's work together to create a supportive environment where students can express their feelings, seek help, and feel valued. We must prioritize mental health education and support systems to prevent further tragedies like this. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for help. You are not alone. #MentalHealthMatters #SupportStudents #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthAwareness

For #worldmentalhealthday we’re encouraging you to start mental health conversations early and often with your children or students. 📈 50% of all lifetime mental health conditions begin by age 14 📈 75% begin by age 24 Sometimes we hear that children are too young to understand the complications of mental health. Whether or not that’s true, children aren’t too young to learn about: 🟠 Recognizing their own emotions and the emotions of others 🟠 Emotional regulation and what to do when they feel overwhelmed by their feelings 🟠 What adults are safe and can be trusted with their feelings, big or small When kids have a foundation of social emotional learning, they are more prepared to understand and navigate more complex issues like depression or substance use disorder. Find more resources for social emotional learning with children of various ages on our website. ___________________________________________ At Catalyst CT, we work with communities to tackle the toughest issues they face and we solve the problems together. Follow us for the insights and resources that matter most.
