More and more, schools are dealing with serious issues like major depression, addiction, mental illness, negative social media, school safety issues, suicide, and much more.

This month, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) launched a campaign to raise awareness about the mental health challenges students face, and to highlight the solutions some principals are implementing in response.

This campaign encourages principals to lobby for more mental health funding, and it emphasizes the need to prioritize equality, student involvement, and student voice as key components of school mental health strategies.

“Whole School Wellness” will be the primary focus of NASSP’s National School Leader Conference that will be held July 12–15, 223 in Denver. For more details, click here.
