💚 Promoting Mental Wellness at F.E. DuBose Career Center 🧠✨

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we were honored to welcome our district social workers and representatives from Clarendon Mental Health to speak with students and staff about the importance of mental wellness. 💚

During their visit, they shared valuable information and practical tips on managing stress, building healthy coping skills, recognizing the importance of self-care, and knowing when and how to seek support. These conversations help remind our students that mental health matters just as much as physical health.

Thank you to our social workers and county mental health representatives for taking the time to educate, encourage, and support our students and school community. 🧠✨
