This school year, Hogg & Heights High School, our feeder high school, are focusing on enhancing the mental health & wellness of our students and their families. We know that the last 18 months have taken a toll on our community, and we would like to help enhance everyone’s knowledge and participation in the ways we can all get support & maintain our mental health, no matter what is going on in the world around us. One of the ways that we would like to do this is through a joint campus Mental Health Fair at Heights HS (see attached flyer for more info). 

On November 10th, from 5:30-7:30pm, we will have an event in which local mental health organizations host: 1) an outdoor resource fair and 2) classroom mental health workshops in the form of breakout sessions that families can rotate into throughout the evening. We will also have an outdoor yoga station and raffle prizes available for participants. Agencies that will be on site to present information, host calming activities, and answer your mental health & wellness questions include:
  • DePelchin Children’s Center
  • reMIND Depression & Bipolar Support
  • Memorial Hermann Hogg Clinic
  • The Harris Center
  • National Alliance for Mental Illness of Greater Houston
  • The United Way of Greater Houston
  • The Council on Recovery
  • And more!
If you or your student would like to volunteer for this event, please reach out to Ms. Singleton at Hogg at CSingleton@cis-houston.org.
