Who are we?

Balance Over Burnout is a social media group created by juniors at Tomball Memorial High School. Through this initiative, we discuss mental health, self-care, and strategies for thriving without burning out by maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

We have created social media accounts on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Spotify to raise awareness among our primary target group—students—about the harmful effects of burnout and how to prevent it through balance.

Note: Our main social media account is Instagram, and it is the most up-to-date with our content.

Our Mental Health Consultant

Alfred Jones

TMHS Counselor

Our mental health consultant is Alfred Jones, a counselor at Tomball Memorial High School. He is deeply involved in helping students gain access to mental health care and support, which explains his involvement in Hope Squad and his willingness to assist us throughout our project. Through our interview with Mr. Jones, we gained a deeper understanding of our topic, with one key takeaway being the importance of prioritizing your mental health—because you only have one. Additionally, he helped connect us with a clinical social worker to interview and supported our collaboration with Hope Squad, as he serves as a counselor for the club.
