May, recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month, serves as an important time to shed light on behavioral health issues and diminish the associated stigma. Schools play a crucial role in promoting the mental health and well-being of both scholars and staff through various initiatives such as education, prevention, and early intervention efforts. Flint Community Schools offers support and services to scholars facing mental health challenges. Schools can cultivate a sense of safety and contribute to improved academic and behavioral outcomes.
