The month of May is recognized nationally as Mental Health Awareness Month, providing an opportunity to raise awareness, combat stigma, prioritize our well-being and promote open conversations about helpful and available mental health resources.

Below we have shared some useful tools to help you build your coping toolbox, including grounding exercises, the Path to Calm and a decision map to help find help when you need it the most.

Please also remember, when you are in need or just need someone to talk to, your School Social Workers are here for you.

You are not alone!

On April 11, ERHS AP Environmental Science students donned hard hats and safety vests as they prepared to get a first-hand look at the essential work taking place at the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility in Bay Park.

During the tour, the students learned about the stages of water treatment taking place at the facility, including the Biological Nutrient Removal system, which removes nitrogen from the treated water. This system helps reduce the harmful effects of algae blooms and the destruction of tidal marshes. Students also learned about the Bay Park Conveyance Project which will eventually transport the treated water underground to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant and out through the Atlantic Ocean outflow pipe. This will further improve storm protection and quality of life in our bay.
