Raising Mental Health Awareness for High School Students

Raising mental health awareness is crucial for high school students as they navigate academic pressures, social challenges, and personal growth. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 1 in 5 adolescents experience a mental health disorder each year, making it essential to provide students with the tools and resources to recognize and manage their mental well-being. Schools like Indiana Digital Learning School (INDLS) offer a supportive online environment that helps reduce stressors associated with traditional school settings, giving students the chance to focus on their education and mental health.
