Mental Health Matters!
At Wendler Middle
As a teen or teacher or parent of a teen you have no doubt been made aware of the current mental health crisis in America for adolescents. The situation was dire even before the pandemic, but with the isolation of 2020-2021, our teenagers are facing unprecedented challenges to their mental, behavioral, social, and academic health.
It is critical that we all stay informed on the most up to date research and guidance of how to best support our students as they face this time in their lives.
Please explore this site and give feedback as to how you think we could further get out the message that here at Wendler - Mental Health Matters!
Each Monday a student or staff member will read their essay on an important Mental Health topic.
