Clinton High School has partnered with KyleCares, an organization whose mission is to promote open and honest communication about the mental health challenges faced by teens and young adults. Through KyleCares, we were introduced to the speaker organization Minding Your Mind, where we connected with our keynote speaker, Mallory.
Mallory brought great energy to the presentation and openly shared her personal mental health journey in an engaging and supportive environment. She kept the audience attentive and involved throughout.
Following the presentation, students participated in an activity where they could show their support and awareness of mental health by tying a green bandana to their backpacks, symbolizing that they are allies of mental health.
The Student Council hopes to continue its partnership with KyleCares and plans to open an Active Minds chapter at our school to further deepen our understanding and support of mental health and the challenges that come with it. The event received a lot of positive feedback, and we are excited to continue our journey in promoting mental health awareness.
