ADAMS CITY HIGH SCHOOL SHARES MENTAL HEALTH VIDEO
Posted by Rhonda Hathaway (Commerce City) no2feet1@gmail.com
Commerce City Rotary rolled out the Mental Health Initiative at Adams City High School in 2015. The Interact Club of Adams City High School took it upon themselves to produce a video to show what mental health may look like; what they may look like. In this video, we talk about “ALGEE,” the acronym to help people through a mental health crisis, but most importantly, to advise them to see their local mental health center. The video can be viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/uBGupggPDg8.
Mental health may start at the early age of 10 and only be seen as puberty out of control. If you notice your teenager distant for more than two weeks, a parent, a friend, a teacher may want to sit down with them and find out what might be going on. It may not be typical hormonal change.
In order to erase mental health problems, we must start with our youth. They are the generation. Please share this video with other Interact and Rotary clubs and start talking about mental health and how you can help. The video was not produced by health professionals, but by students who wanted to start the conversation.
The interact Club of Adams City High School continues to maintain active involvement in matters of mental health within their school community. If your club would like to share this video with others, kindly consider a small donation to the Adams City High School Interact Club, P.O. Box 1882, Commerce City, CO 80037.
