📣 Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health Starts with Us! 💚
In partnership with Care Solace & Van Buren County Schools, we're taking steps to support the mental well-being of our youth.

Here’s how YOU can help:
💚 Educate yourself and others about mental health.
💚 Create safe spaces for open and honest conversations.
💚 Use respectful and stigma-free language.
💚 Highlight positive role models who advocate for mental health.
💚 Share and access helpful resources:
MentalHealth.gov
Child Mind Institute
NAMI: You Are Not Alone
PBS Kids - Feelings and Emotions
