Mental Health Awareness Month Event
The School District of Springfield Township is pleased to present a FREE double header event for May's Mental Health Awareness Month. On Wednesday, May 15th at 5:30pm, please join us for a student and parent QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) suicide prevention session. ACCESS Services will provide information and research-based strategies to help prevent suicide and recognize the signs of suicide in friends and family members. This event is for students in grades 5 through 12 and all parents and community members and will take place in the Middle School Audion.
After the presentation, come hang out with us at 6:30pm in the Middle School Cafeteria and join our Depressed Cake Shop Pop-Up! Local clinician, Anna O'Brien, will talk about mental health while everyone gets to decorate cakes and cookies to take home or eat while you work! This fun-filled event takes the negative stigma out of talking about mental health. We'll have music, raffles, and fun while we decorate the night away!
This free event is funded by the Montgomery County Department of Health & Human Services Office of Drug & Alcohol and the Keep It Safe Grant.
