OBSERVATION 7 (K-12 and postsecondary): Heightened risks of sexual harassment, abuse, and violence during the pandemic, including from household members as well as intimate partners, and online harassment from peers and others, affect many students and may be having a continued disparate impact on K-12 and postsecondary girls and women and students who are transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming.
Awareness of Student Cues
"All behavior is a form of communication." ~ Dr. Becky Bailey
Student cues communicate the student's emotional state. This document, taken from the Conscious Discipline website, explores the options we have as adults in how we respond to those cues.
The following is a list of student cues to look for.
Body Language
Facial Expression(s)
Unexplained Reactions
Social Interactions (or lack thereof)
Abnormal Behaviors
Example of Monitoring Body Language in Animals
Student Resources
Several MHS clubs focus extensively on promoting mental health and wellness. Members of these clubs attended a presentation on mental wellness resources, coping strategies, and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues
Megan Ulrich provides student-focused presentations to clubs/classes upon request.
The Student Services office has implemented several targeted programs to specifically help students who are struggling with mental wellness.
