May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a national observance established by Mental Health America in 1949. It is a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and support those affected by mental health challenges.
At Woodley Hills, we are proud to promote a holistic approach to mental wellbeing through education and community engagement. This month, we encourage parents to take an active role by fostering open conversations with their children, listening with empathy, and teaching healthy coping strategies.
Creating a safe, supportive environment at home—and modeling healthy emotional habits—can make a lasting impact. Seeking professional guidance when needed is also an essential part of supporting our students' mental health.
Throughout May, we will be sharing fun and informative activities and resources to help students learn how to care for their mental wellbeing.
Together, we are building a strong, supportive school community—one step at a time.
