Oregon's Mental Health Days: A Step Forward for Students

We need to say it's just as okay to take care of for mental health reasons as it is to care for broken bones or a physical illness.
Imagine being able to take a day off school because your mental health needs it. Sounds revolutionary, right? In this episode of 'Mental Insights', host Brendan Cutuli dives into Oregon's groundbreaking bill that allows students to take five excused mental health days each year. It's a significant move towards recognizing the importance of mental health in the education system. Brendan unpacks the bill's potential impact on students, educators, and the broader community.
He explores how this legislation can help reduce the stigma around mental health, making it easier for students to seek help without feeling ashamed. Brendan also discusses the crucial need for schools to provide adequate mental health resources, ensuring that students have access to the support they need when they need it. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone interested in the well-being of young people.
Tune in to learn how Oregon's initiative could be a model for other states and what you can do to support mental health in your community.
