The Wellness Committee of Mission Possible PFA is wholeheartedly committed to fostering comprehensive well-being at MSJH, with a particular emphasis on the mental and emotional welfare of our students. Collaborating with the school’s counselors, administrators, teachers, and ASB, our mission is to establish and sustain a wholesome, optimistic, and secure scholastic environment that benefits everyone.

 

Our primary objective encompasses advocating for healthful and harmonious lifestyles, promoting self-nurturing practices, and providing steadfast support for a robust mental and emotional health framework within MSJH. Through a diverse array of educational initiatives, enjoyable activities, and purposeful undertakings, such as stress alleviation techniques, mindfulness exercises, self-care practices, coping strategies, and conflict resolution skills for managing relationships with peers, families, and others, we endeavor to directly address prevalent mental and emotional challenges among our student body, notably stress, anxiety, and depression.

 

We are open to hear your contributions and insights on ways to bolster our students' mental and emotional well-being. We invite all members of the MSJH community to share their ideas and perspectives, fostering an environment where every individual's emotional needs are comprehensively met.

 

Additionally, kindly explore our Mental Wellness Resources for enjoyable and beneficial suggestions.
