Dear John,
Mental Illness Awareness Week is next week from October 3-9. Students and educators have faced countless, unprecedented hardships over the past two school years. We hope you’ll incorporate mental health literacy into your work with students next week. These LFJ resources highlight ways to destigmatize mental illness and feature tips for interrupting harmful school practices, which especially affect Black youth. We all need to be good to ourselves and to each other.
We’ll let you know whenever we update The Moment. Whether it’s lessons on a timely topic, resources for supporting vulnerable students or tips for making it through a tough time of year, we’ll have what you need front and center.
Thanks for all you do for students.

Jalaya Liles Dunn
Director, Learning for Justice
