You Mattress, I Chair! The Power of Mental Health in Schools

Feb 12, 2025

You Mattress, I Chair! The Power of Mental Health in Schools
Stressed? Uncertain? In schools, the mental health of students is often understated and dismissed. In these situations, there are no viable programs or help that students can seek. Students are susceptible to depression and anxiety as they face stressful situations at school, whether it is academically or socially. As a result, this presentation aims to be more than a deck of slides. Rather, it will be focused on spreading awareness of the pervasive issues of mental health and educating others on the overarching importance of students’ wellbeing. We want to encourage students to reflect on themselves and their community by engaging them through our interactive session. Most importantly, we want to inspire students to implement what they have learned in our session in their school communities. Learn more about “You Mattress, I Chair!”
