We are collaborating with school officials and teachers to educate our students, parents, and caregivers about the challenges of mental health, the importance of speaking up and moving out of isolation to find peer and professional support, and the many pathways for hope and healing.  We are also working on school initiatives which promote and foster peer support and encouragement. Our goal is for students in the Tampa Bay area to acquire skills needed to regulate their emotional and mental health, to develop resilience, and to advocate for mental health and substance use support, both for themselves and for their peers.
