Each day, a student’s mental wellbeing impacts their mood, behavior and way of thinking. That’s why good mental health practices benefit everyone, no matter their age.

Sponsored by SD Behavioral Health, a Division of the SD Department of Social Services, free journals are available for middle school teachers and counselors to help students manage stress, develop healthy habits and work through challenges when they’re struggling.

Teaching resilience and the importance of positive thinking helps students reach their full potential, both academically and personally. So let’s work together and all do our part to help support the resilience and mental health of all kids in South Dakota.
