On Monday night, TFD hosted a mental health meeting for Proviso District students. The purpose of this meeting was to hear out the students and to understand what they are going through due to recent events within the schools. They shared a little bit about what they are going through as a school and how the staff is handling these situations. We wanted to hear about the dynamic between students and administration and how we can be there to support them in any change they would like to see. It was an open discussion to share feelings and thoughts in a safe space and show that their are people here to support and help in whatever areas they made need.
This meeting was also to get some ideas of how TFD can implement a more permanent mental health aspect to its curriculum and what resources they would like to have available to them that TFD can provide. It was overall a great discussion with lots of information and we can’t wait to see where we can take this advice and how to help both now and in the future!
