2. The School Counseling department is here again to share with you some more information about Mental Health awareness month. According to a study by Kessler and colleagues, 1 in 5 students struggle or will struggle with a mental illness at some point in their lives. Mental health awareness month is done to help de-stigmatize mental illness, so that people struggling are able to seek out support.

Breathing strategies, you all can try for coping with your own stressors are Figure 8 breathing or square breathing. Check out an example of how to do this on one of the posters hanging your classrooms.

3. There will be a short meeting during study hall today for 8th graders interested in joining Tigerettes next year. Please listen for the announcement.
