Hey Guys! It's been a while! A lot has happened since my last blog, basically, over Summer I realized that the Sage Creek PTSA Student and Teacher resource webpage does not include resources for a few very important issues which are taboo, and thus, not talked about. Driving safety, drugs, alcohol, stress, and suicide prevention are all topics which are covered but there are a variety of other harmful mental health issues that are not touched upon. This is where my project comes in, I've decided to create my website to display four of these issues― Anxiety, Eating disorders, Self-harm, and Depression. Moreover, I've started contacting mental health professionals about these topics so I can start to build a credible website for parents to use. I believe that this website can benefit many parents who do not know about how prevalent these four mental health issues are in adolescents. However, I have made little progress farther than what was previously stated on my genius project and website itself, but I am trying to gather as much information as I can to inform myself on these issues. Additionally, My genius project has morphed over the Summer to focus more on the website than a panel, nevertheless, I still am planning to hold a panel but at a later date than anticipated. Through my progress is not where I would like it to be, I am proud to be where I am in overcoming my fear of communicating professionals and adults in general as I feel as if I am burdening them. Even with just the beginning of my communications with these professionals, I have realized that people really enjoy helping out others and will go out of their way to do so! The support I have felt when talking about my project to teachers, family, and volunteers has made a substantial impact on increasing my drive to accomplish, at the very least, building my website. There is a long road ahead in terms of my project but I couldn't be more excited for the journey! Link to my Genius Project Pitch: CLICK
