World Mental Health Day is celebrated on October 10th all across the globe with the aim to promote, educate, and raise awareness of mental health issues. The focus of this day is also to get people talking about their mental health and eradicate stigmas associated with mental illness.
What to do on World Mental Health Day?
Take some time for yourself and keep an eye on your well-being. Make sure you're getting enough time to relax and rejuvenate to keep a healthy mind and avoid any unnecessary stresses in your day-to-day life. If you feel like things are getting on top of you or are finding it difficult to keep organized, consider using a daily planner or wellness journal to make sure you're looking after yourself.
For additional information or resources related to mental health, please contact our KM school district mental health navigator, Mr. Bakum at bakkums@kmsd.edu

The KM Forensics team will meet for the first time next week on Tuesday, October 15, right after school until 4 pm.
