As a 47-year-old woman who has experienced trauma, I cannot stress enough the importance of mental health informed schools. When I was going through my own difficult times, I wish I had a supportive and understanding environment like what is being implemented in schools now. It’s incredible to see the progress being made in educating students and staff about mental health. I truly believe that this could make a difference for future generations, and I am so grateful for the work being done in this area. It gives me hope and reassurance that the stigma surrounding mental health is slowly but surely being broken down. I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to support these initiatives to do so, as it could make a world of difference for someone struggling with mental health issues.
