The Importance of Mental Health Week

Mental Health may as well be magic or wizardry to most people. As much science and evidence that's out there about the reality and importance of the human mind, we stilldon't take itseriously. Even when something terriblehappens, we tend to genralize and treat thsoe people as outliers, call them crazy, and move on without doing anything different.

Mental Health Week is an opportunity to realize that the mind matters. As it relates to education,it can be the difference between an A and and F for students. It can be the difference between a teacher that makes a true change in a students life and a teacher that shows up with liquor in their coffee. You have to takecare of your students and take care of yourself.
