May is Mental Health Awareness Month. May 9, 2024, has been selected as the date for Virginia to recognize Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day (CMHAD). The goal of this day is to raise awareness of the importance of every child’s mental health. Intentionally engaging in activities that boost mental health should be prioritized as much as routine physical care. Using resources from the Virginia Department of Education, LES will engage students in activities designed to improve mental health. Below is a calendar with daily activities for students and families. #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare #loveyourself #pioneerpower
