Looking Back at the Good News from September 2022

A New Month, a Renewed Focus: Mental Health in Schools

September marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. For students, it means settling into classroom and homework routines, and for adults, the holiday season is suddenly right around the corner.

October brings an opportunity to continue dialogue around mental health. Mental Illness Awareness Week, National Depression Screening Day, and World Mental Health Day fall in October. Our Goodside Health team looks forward to joining you and school systems across the nation as we continue conversations around the health and wellness of our campus communities.
