The Coronado Unified School District held a meeting on May 12, 2025, focusing on mental health awareness in conjunction with Mental Health Awareness Month. The agenda emphasized the importance of mental health education and support within the school community, particularly among middle school students.

The meeting began with a discussion on the prevalence of mental health conditions, noting that millions of Americans are affected each year, either directly or indirectly through friends and family. This highlighted the need for increased awareness and support systems within the school environment.

Participants discussed the role of middle school students in making daily choices that promote both their physical and mental health. The school plans to share educational resources throughout the week, aimed at fostering discussions about mental health and strategies for supporting well-being on campus.

Key initiatives include daily discussions on mental health facts and the introduction of wellness tools designed to help students manage stress in healthy ways. The overarching goal is to create an environment where students can achieve their full potential by becoming more aware of their mental health needs and making informed choices.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to ongoing education and support for mental health, reinforcing the district's dedication to the well-being of its students. Further actions and follow-up discussions are expected as the week progresses, ensuring that mental health remains a priority within the school community.
