How to Fix Mental Health in Schools – 2020 (True Story!)
Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how to schools can start to better support the mental wellness of their students (step-by-step).
In fact, in this video, I’m going to tell you exactly what would have helped me when I was struggling with mental health challenges in school.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
We have a serious problem with mental health within the United States and within our schools. Over the past 20 years, the youth suicide rate around the world has been declining except for in the United States where it has increased. That’s a problem.
And, it’s not just mental health in high school that needs to be addressed. As a young child, I was expelled from three schools. I was admitted to mental hospitals three times for extended stays, I self-harmed, and I attempted suicide. These experiences have provided me with a unique perspective now as an adult on how we can better address mental health in schools.
There are three things, which I discuss in more detail during the video, that I think schools can do to start to turn the situation around.
Everyone in the school community needs to take responsibility for mental wellness.
Cultivate a culture of self-care and teach social skills.
Educate everyone on mental wellness.
Many schools think they need to rely on things like grants for mental health in school in order to make a change, but there are many free resources that are readily available to everyone (see the link below).
Mental health awareness is the key factor needed to help make a change. We can’t just rely on things like screening for mental health in schools. We all need to take responsibility to make the change.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to begin changing the mental health culture within your school in 2019.

Taking A Risk And Trying Something New: Guided Mindfulness Meditation
http://www.mikeveny.com In this video, Mike Veny shares about taking a risk on creating new guided mindfulness meditation products. The reason that this is him taking a risk is because he’s never done it before. Mike also has anxiety, which complicates trying new things.
Regardless, he learned from someone that all you need to do is be brave for 60 seconds. If you’ve ever wondered how to deal with performance anxiety or how to control performance anxiety, all you need to do is be brave for 60 seconds.
He shares about how his guided mindfulness meditation products include trauma informed language and inclusive language. He even gives inclusive language examples.
If you are looking for some new guided mindfulness meditation audios or you want some “trying new things motivation”, then you need to watch this video.

Understanding the Unique Stigma of Minority Mental Health
There is a unique stigma that surrounds minority mental health. Don’t get me wrong, mental health in general is stigmatized, but there’s a different stigma when it comes to the black community.
We are a culture of honor. We don’t like to be disrespected. And that doesn’t sound like a bad thing, but if we’re not careful, it can become one of the mental health barriers that we face. When we admit that we’re struggling with mental illness or disorders like depression, we can start to feel like we’re disrespecting ourselves.
Mental health stigma awareness is crucial in empowering people to get the help they need.
In this mental health stigma video, I share about this unique stigma in minority cultures and communities. I also talk about the role that the strong black man plays in this stigma. I’ve shared about the perception and idea of the “strong black man” in a previous blog post linked below. As we address the stigma, there’s a need for us to redefine what it means to be healthy, strong, and whole.
There are also a few minority mental health tips I share that I believe are important for change, as well as a few things we can do to improve the situation for black and brown youth and the community as a whole.
