“It’s essentially just to bring awareness to mental health,” Weber said. “I feel like a lot of people in the school they struggle with mental health and not a lot of people know that, and know how to help, like, support them or know what resources are provided for them around in the community.”
Mental Health Awareness Week started Monday, April 24 and concluded Friday with the Mental Health Awareness Fair.
In the following week, a guest speaker planned to come to the school to continue to spread awareness.
“Everybody that’s in the commitee, they deal with their own mental health issues and we just want everybody to feel like they’re not alone,” junior Christa McCormack said.
The group worked to pull the event together.
“We’re also having some crafts and yard games and its gonna be a fun way to get the community involved,” McCormack said. “We really want everyone to come.”

“And then there’ll be two days where actually my group will actually be at Antioch speaking to their health class about mental health,” Weber said.
