Mental Health is an important aspect of our lives that really needs more consideration and acknowledgement than it is currently receiving. The current methods of treating mental health, especially among school-aged people, are inaccurate and rely too heavily on medication.Certain activities such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness, or martial arts have been shown to have positive effects of mental health and well-being. Incorporating the above mentioned activities into the school days will serve to address the stigma surrounding mental health and allow for more honest conversations and requests for help.More open and honest environments will result in more accurate diagnosis and help for addressing mental health issues, leading to more balanced well-beings among school-aged people and beyond.
