MHANYS
Feb. 28 from noon to 12:30 p.m.
This webinar presents mental health as a continuum of wellness and an integral part of our overall health, and encourages treatment seeking behavior and self-care to manage stress.
MHANYS School Mental Health Resource and Training Center will be hosting a series of monthly webinars curated for families and caregivers as part of our Family Education Project to help reduce stigma and promote mental health.
Why join our webinar series?
In July of 2018, New York State passed a law requiring mental health instruction as part of the K-12 health curriculum. We believe a universal approach - one that educates all students, families, school personnel and communities - will reframe the conversation around mental health to one that emphasizes mental health promotion, early intervention and the reduction of stigma.
In addition, approximately half of all lifetime cases of mental health disorders begin by the age of 14, and three-quarters by the age of 24. With early intervention and modeling health promoting behaviors, we can support the emotional development of youth and mitigate the troublesome effects of mental health conditions.
Please share with families in your community and stay tuned for more webinars!

There is an easy camaraderie to their give-and-take exchange which bounces from talk of Fortnite to the Super Bowl and then on to the subject of card games.
"He taught me how to play [Blackjack] 21," 12-year-old Nick says proudly.
Sitting across the cafeteria table from Nick, a sixth-grader at St. Johns Technical High School, is Wayne Howell, Nick’s mentor through the local Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

Lake County Record-Bee
Geovanna Veloz, a senior at Mission High School in San Francisco, has always known she wants to be a nurse. What she didn't know was how to get there.
Her parents couldn't help much. Immigrants from Mexico, they speak limited English, work long hours and don't have much experience with education. Neither went to high school at all, in fact.

The findings follow an in-depth analysis of nearly 754,000 American opioid poisoning cases that occurred between 2005 and 2018. All had been reported to the U.S. National Poison Data System.

But sometimes, it's also what they don't want to be seen as.

The Montague school board wants to resume sending high school students out of New Jersey, to Port Jervis High School in New York, and is asking New Jersey's education commissioner to approve it.

Being aware services exist can be key to improving the wellbeing and daily lives of college students struggling with mental health, according to Director of the UW-Madison Counseling Psychology Training Clinic Dr. Stephanie Graham.

Mendy Mendez Ventura writes: "At just 17 years old, I can't count the number of times my friends and I have had no choice but to be one another's support system through personal battles with our mental health.
New York City's public schools are to blame.
I attend a high school with more than 400 students and there is only one dedicated therapist to counsel hundreds of young people."

D'naysha Griggs has a careful strategy for squeezing in study time while babysitting her eight nieces and nephews. The 17-year-old has about an hour after she gets to their house in Coney Island before they start bickering and she needs to put down her computer. To get back to it, she splits them up: The oldest four go off to play a game, and the younger ones watch cartoons.
