“I feel like I’m not only understanding others more, I am understanding me.” Those are powerful words coming from one of our Youth Leadership students at Harlandale ISD. We asked the students to share what they have taken away from our new in-school program, here are a few more quotes, “I am always learning something new” and “I’ve learned it’s ok to not be ok, to always talk about it and seek help.” Breaking the stigma and supporting those struggling with their mental health is what this year-long program and our partnership with the San Antonio Mobile Mental Wellness Collaborative is all about!
