Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act.  It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Talk to your PSH counselor, parents or a trusted adult if you experience any of these things:*

  • Can't eat or sleep
  • Can't perform daily tasks like going to school
  • Don't want to hang out with your friends or family
  • Don't want to do things you usually enjoy
  • Fight a lot with family and friends
  • Feel you can't control your emotions and it's affecting relationships with family and friends
  • Have low or no energy
  • Feel hopeless, numb, or like nothing matters
  • Can’t stop thinking about certain things or memories
  • Feel confused, forgetful, edgy, angry, upset, worried, or scared
  • Want to harm yourself or others
