On Sept. 11 and 12, Mike Mizer from 1N5 spoke to students about mental health. Mizer works in the field of mental health and strives to help prevent suicide by breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness.
He explained how mental health affects people and how maintaining a positive outlook can help individuals improve their well-being. He emphasized the importance of gratitude and the connection between physical and mental health.
Having speakers like Mizer visit schools is important so that students understand they are not alone and that there are people who dedicate their lives to helping others. It’s essential for students to find healthy outlets and learn different ways to support both themselves and those around them who may be struggling.
