At STEM, they met for a mental health discussion in the auditorium to address five key points for scholars.
social awareness
self-management
responsible decision making
relationships building
Scholars asked questions during the panel and submitted questions before the panel using a scholar-designed Google form. During the panel, scholars were engaged and may say they now have a better awareness and the skills to have a conversation about mental health and where to find resources.
Johnny Adams served as the facilitator and MC for the event. Johnny Adams is an Akron Public Schools graduate and the CEO of Fight or Flight, a community-based organization that provides mental health wellness programs. A special thank-you goes to Joy Farrance who serves as the adviser.
