Before facilitating a discussion on mental health with your students, reflect on the following questions. If you answer “no” to one or multiple question(s), please discuss with your colleagues and/or Jack.org staff before progressing.
- Is this an appropriate time to have a mental health promotional discussion?
- If there has been a recent loss or traumatic experience in the school population, group-setting mental health discussions are not appropriate. Instead, connect with mental health professionals and refer to Jack.org Resources section
- Are mental health supports available in the school should students need/want professional help during or after the discussion?
- Have I accounted for cultural, religious, and social backgrounds within my school?
