The iSOSY Mental Health Lessons have been developed to help normalize conversations with migratory students around mental health and encourage access to help when someone needs it. The information contained in all iSOSY resources is based on solid research about mental illness and mental health.
Awareness is the key to offering support for concerns. It's a way to begin conversations and make connections to enable the necessary interventions. Diagnosis of mental health concerns is always the role of professionals, but we as practitioners may learn to see signs and symptoms of mental health concerns. The sooner people get to the right resources, the sooner interventions can happen. And the sooner interventions happen, the better the outcomes! Thanks for being an advocate for improving the mental health of those we serve.
