Know the Signals of A Student's Mental Health

Neighborhood Medical Center, the Foundation for Leon County Schools and Leon County Schools have partnered to produce two exceptional public service announcements designed to engage our students and parents on the subject of mental health assistance. We invite the community to learn how to listen out for the signals that are being sent every day. Together we can work to end the stigma and help provide a pathway towards resources.
