Mental Health Virtual Event for Students May 20: Mind Out Loud
The San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE), in partnership with the California Department of Education (CDE), Wellness Together School Mental Health, and the Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission, is hosting the 5th Annual Mind Out Loud virtual event for students on May 20 at 10 a.m.
At Mind Out Loud, middle and high school students from across California, the U.S., and throughout the world will have the opportunity to connect with one another on issues of mental health, wellness, and suicide prevention. The event aims to empower students aged 13 and above with practical and creative ways to share their stories and discuss mental health.
Participants will hear from engaging speakers, including actor and comedian Rainn Wilson, on these topics, learn how to reduce stigma, and gain access to resources to help advocate for their peers on campus.
Students are encouraged to host watch parties at their school to create a shared experience and facilitate conversation. The webinar will be available afterward so students can watch anytime.
Mind Out Loud students and will focus on the four Mind Out Loud Pillars of improving student mental wellness, promoting suicide prevention resources, connecting students in rural and vulnerable communities, and increasing mental health awareness and literacy.
Last year, thousands of middle and high school students attended, with more than 100 watch parties taking place throughout the country.
Mind Out Loud is the official youth-led mental health movement of the national nonprofit Wellness Together, creating access to student mental health services and providing schools and districts with school-based therapists online and on campus.
