May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the counseling team would like to share resources and events that will serve as tools for families to help students thrive.

Below are some student mental health resources and support services from our partners at South Bay Families Connected:

• Access up-to-date parenting resources, articles and videos to support youth mental health, manage anxiety and prevent suicide.
• We encourage you to visit the SBFC Event Calendar for Mental Health Awareness Month events, including the May 17th Families Connected Speaker Series on device and screen time management and the Families Connected Parent Chat, both of which are provided in partnership with Beach Cities Health District.
• Teens can visit the Virtual Teen Center for mental health, anxiety, stress management resources and more!
• For resources on a variety of parenting topics, read SBFC’s Newsletter and visit our own Da Vinci Schools Families Connected.
