MAY IS NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH According to the most recent student health survey, nearly one in four BHS teens reported being depressed (feeling sad and hopeless for more than 2 weeks), yet only a quarter of those adolescents get professional help, often because of the stigma still clouding issues of mental health. Check out B-PEN's Teens and Mental Health page for information, tips and valuable resources.
