Two Kettle Moraine seniors came up with the idea of making athletic suicide awareness hoodies to bring attention to the increase in athletic suicides and mental health. Together, they came up with the sayings and hashtags along with their brand name: Athletic Suicide Hoodies.
100% of proceeds are planned to be donated directly to NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Health at the end of the school year. The senior's goal is to sell 40 hoodies which would put the donation amount at $1,000.
Follow their instagram, @athleticsuicidehoodies, for updates and more information. Thank you for supporting their mission.

College and Career Wednesday: Every Wednesday KM would like to spotlight a college, university, career, or apprenticeship. College and Career exploration is essential for students to create and cultivate a plan for their future. This week's College and Career Wednesday takes a look at Psychologists.
Humans are very complex creatures. At times, we don't even understand our own thoughts. It's not easy to explain ourselves or change our way of thinking. This is where psychology comes in. Psychologists study people's thoughts and behavior. They use their expertise to help people function better in their daily lives.
Psychologists can work with all types of patients. They treat people with emotional or mental disorders. They work with families or spouses who have conflicts. They help people who have trouble adapting to school, work, or life events. And these are just a few cases!
To work as a psychologist, you need a graduate degree in psychology. This can be either a master's degree or a PhD, depending on your area of focus. A master's degree takes about 6 years to complete. This includes 4 years for a bachelor's degree program and another 2 for a master's program. A PhD takes another 4 to 5 years to earn. If you want to be a clinical psychologist, you should get a doctoral degree. You can choose to earn a PhD or a PsyD.
Classes at KM that will help you prepare for a career as a Psychologist include AP Psychology, Sociology, and Communications 111.
