Breaking the Silence: Boone County Schools Shine a Light on Mental Health Awareness
In a powerful display of community support, Boone County Schools recently hosted a mental health awareness event that brought attention to the importance of mental wellbeing. The event's keynote speaker, Brandon Saho, founder of 'The Mental Game' and former sports journalist, shared his personal story of battling depression, highlighting the need for open conversation and reduced stigma around mental health issues. With mental health awareness on the rise, events like these play a crucial role in promoting emotional intelligence, self-care, and stress management. By fostering a culture of understanding and empathy, Boone County Schools is taking a proactive step towards creating a supportive environment for students, teachers, and the wider community. As mental health continues to be a pressing concern, initiatives like these serve as a reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
