Today’s #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek fact: an individual’s mental health can change over time, due to life situations, stress, physical health changes, work, & demands. You can be fine until you aren’t. Ask for help if you need it. 💚

I learned a lot of great, research & science-based tips today Region One ESC from Dr. Douglas Fisher that I am looking forward to using in my classes Los Fresnos High ASAP. #RegionOneEDU

Today’s #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek fact: research shows that tens of millions of Americans have a mental illness, but only 1/2 receive treatment. These illnesses can range from mild to moderate to severe. We must do better to support those affected.

Today was a good day. I really enjoyed the 10th annual EELS Conference Region One ESC I was honored & grateful to present about mental health support for students. I’m always up for advocating for mental health awareness 💚 #RegionOneEDU

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay 💚 How can you fight stigma & provide support? Empathy, awareness, kindness, & knowledge. “The more you know, the less you judge.”💚

#MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek fact: stigma against mental illness is real & pervasive. The language used, the negative reactions, & stereotypes all contribute to stigma. People with mental illness deserve support & empathy. 💚

This is AWESOME and very much needed! I know Region One ESC will take care of our RGV students. 💚
