In this episode, I talk about the impact that having a mental health curriculum in our education system would look like and why it is important.  We are our environment. If we give our children an environment that prioritizes their mental well-being, they will grow up wanting to prioritize it. Just like math, how it is taught at different ages that make sense for that age group, we would do the same for mental health education. According to the Center for Disease Control, in 2020 suicide was the second leading cause of death in ages 10-14. That is a clear sign there is an issue with how our youth is handling their mental health and they need to be educated on what they are going through and how to help themselves or others. For this week's activity, I want you to either email [email protected] or go to www.btbettertomorrow.com and scroll to the bottom where you can leave me a message, and let me know your thoughts on this topic. What do you wish you learned about mental health when you grew up? How would this have impacted you or someone in your life? If you could speak to someone who has the power to make this change, what would you bring up? Whatever it is TELL ME I want to know and get more opinions outside of my views to bring on this issue.
