Mental Health Awareness Month
More than one year into the pandemic, recognition, and practice of wellness is at the forefront for our students, families, staff, and community. As NA continues to meet the needs of our community, we are taking a careful look at mental health and wellness.
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, select staff members have volunteered to share their expertise, experiences, and tips for normalizing discussions around mental health. Be on the lookout for weekly updates throughout May and help us educate, support, and fight the stigma for all. To access materials for Week 3, “Train Your Brain,” visit our Mental Health and Wellness website. Previous weekly materials continue to remain accessible to all. |
