🌟 World Mental Health Day 🌟 Today is a reminder of the importance of supporting each other’s mental well-being. Schools are where children spend much of their time, so they play a vital role in shaping not only academic growth but also emotional resilience. Creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel able to express their emotions and access help when needed is key to their long-term well-being. By encouraging open conversations around mental health, we can equip our children with the tools they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. #WorldMentalHealthDay
