Warwick Academy will be hosting events for ‘Mental Health Awareness Month’ with the events getting underway on Friday [April 29].
A spokesperson said, “As a school, Warwick Academy, is proud to support Mental Health Awareness Month which was kicked off on Friday. The Secondary student leaders were out in full force as was a huge group of our Primary students.
“The month will be spent focusing on the importance of mental health and to ‘say that sometimes it’s ok not to be ok.’ Warwick Academy Secondary students have a Green grub day, the colour for mental health, and the Primary will have theirs on 13th May.
“Green rubber bracelets with words of inspiration such as Hope, Faith, Strength and Survivor were given to the Secondary students, they can wear them all month and as a constant reminder that they are important.
“The students will spend the month of May taking part in various activities, watching a documentary Screenagers which highlights the pitfalls of growing up in the digital age and Warwick will document the entire month and produce a video highlighting the activities.”
