All families, secondary students, elementary students (with guardians), teachers, staff, administrators, and community members are welcome. The impact of mental health and wellness challenges is not limited to select families. Not acknowledging and addressing the challenges impairs learning now and life prospects later. Not talking about them stigmatizes the conditions and becomes a source of stress itself. Mental health concerns us all because we are directly and indirectly affected when children suffer from stress, anxiety, and related matters. We must address these issues in school and at home.
