Informational Night
On March 4th, 2020, MHA hosted an annual informational night. The regional director of NCADA, Mrs. Shanti Kumar, and a student panel talked at the event. Booths from many mental health organizations such as NCADA, NAMI, and KUTO were set up throughout the event.
Let's Talk About It
MHA started a video series called "Let's Talk About It" to give students a platform in sharing their experiences with mental health. The video series is mainly featured on our instagram @mentalhealthadvocatespkwy and shares the experiences, stories, and advice of students, peers, and teachers.
Therapy Dogs
MHA is currently communicating with many organizations to bring therapy dogs into Parkway Central more often.
Cozy Corner
MHA is looking to set up a Cozy Corner in the library where students can sit back, relax, study quietly, and de-stress. The corner will be stocked with self-help books, newsletters, and resources that students can easily access.
Policy
We are seeking a policy change in the Parkway School district to better accommodate mental health days for students. Through our policy...
- Students will be able to take mental health days off as excused absences. Some homework and classwork may be excused during the absence.
- Students can leave their classroom at any time to go to the counseling office. In the future, students can grab a pass from the counseling office to go to the cozy corner.
- Students and parents will only be notified of grades/assignment notifications in Infinite Campus during school hours (7:35 AM to 2:25 PM).
