About Us

A way we can help people with mental health issues is to take them outside.  We can also just be their friend.

I like to write build LEGO cars!

I learned that this issue is a lot bigger than I thought.

I like to read outside.

I learned that mental health comes in many different forms.

I like to sleep!

I think that mental illness is a very big deal in our community and the world and we need to be more aware.

What helps me calm down is playing catch with my friends. I also love playing sports.

I learned that mental health can be a big problem if they don't have a way to get help.

What helps me calm down is laying down and listening to things on Alexa.

I have learned that mental health can be big issues or smaller issues but that both need to be treated.

I like to listen to music.

I learned that when something you love, like going outdoors, is stopped (like in elementary school) it can lead to depression.  So, we need it in middle school.

I like to play sports.

Treating mental illness can be done by going outdoors.  It's helpful for kids to have that time.

I like to go on to Spotify and listen to my music.

I learned that lots of people can be affected by it and might not want to say anything.

I learned that mental health in middle school is worse than I thought.  They need help.

I like to go and get away from people and do an activity by myself, like playing videogames.

Another idea besides an outdoor classroom is to give students break times and more scheduled times to go outside.

I like to read and do some type of art.

One guy we interviewed said that there is a new breakthrough that being outside in nature is the best thing to help with mental health.

I like to tumble or do art.  But, I can't tumble for the next four weeks!
