💜 September is Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month 💜

Throughout September, Mercer County Schools is joining together to raise awareness, inspire hope, and support the mental health and well-being of every student.

We believe no one should face difficult times alone. Across the county, our schools will participate in age-appropriate activities and lessons that help students strengthen coping skills, build supportive connections, and understand that help is always within reach.

🌱 Elementary School (K–5): Learning healthy ways to cope with difficult feelings, including talking with a trusted adult, journaling, and practicing calming strategies.

🤝 Middle School (6–8): Building skills to manage stress, connect with others, and find positive outlets when life feels overwhelming.

💬 High School (9–12): Encouraging honest conversations about mental health, breaking the stigma, and reminding students that reaching out for help—for themselves or a friend—is a sign of courage.

Together, we can create a community where every student feels seen, supported, and valued.

Stay tuned throughout the month for activities, resources, and opportunities to support one another.

You matter. You are not alone. Help is always within reach.

If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If there is an immediate danger, call 911.

Excited to kick off our first meeting with this incredible group of National Board Certification candidates! 🎉 Mercer County Public Schools recognizes the value of professional learning and supporting teachers as we strive to grow, reflect, and refine our craft.

Special shoutout to Concord University’s Dr. Amanda Reed for presenting and partnering with our candidates by offering non-degree graduate credit for their National Board components.
