Mental Health Is NOW Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

When the pandemic started, a Therapist told Alicia "The next pandemic after COVID is going to be our mental health." One year later and this saying is proving to be very true. Notre Dame Prep is making sure their students' mental health is just as important as their classes. Which is why Alicia is so excited for this bonus episode on Mental Health at NDP. From working with their staff to their students, NDP is making sure everyone has an opportunity to take care of themselves. And you, as a community member can help too with the Saints Virtual 5k, raising money for teen mental health. https://www.ndpsaints.org/saints5k
