LEARN THE WARNING SIGNS OF MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS

Trying to tell the difference between what expected behaviors are and what might be the signs of a mental illness isn't always easy. There's no easy test that can let someone know if there is mental illness or if actions and thoughts might be typical behaviors of a person or the result of a physical illness.

Recognizing the warning signs for mental illness is information everyone should know about.  Go to https://www.nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Warning-Signs-and-Symptoms to learn more.

3 Types of School Supports to Help Students with Mental Health Conditions

School can be a challenge for students with mental health conditions. Some students struggle to concentrate, sit still or follow directions. Others might have difficulty learning due to depression, anxiety, mood swings, psychosis or behavior caused by trauma. For too many of our students, their symptoms result in discipline — such as out-of-school suspension — rather than support. To complicate the picture, many students with mental health conditions also have co-occurring learning disabilities.

There is hope for students with mental health needs as there are several ways to secure academic and behavioral support. The supports available in public schools include general education interventions, Section 504 plans and special education services. Which type of support is most appropriate for a student depends on that student’s unique strengths and needs.
