Project Theme: Mental Health

Years in Existence: 3

Target Audience and Location: Sandra O’Connor High School, Deer Valley High School, and Boulder Creek High School communities in Phoenix, Arizona.

Mission: We advocate for and create wellness centers with school communities to prioritize mental health support and resources.

Project Description: Founding Scholar Brendan Salisbury and educator supporter Ashley Halloff designed a project centered on illuminating the importance of positive mental health practices for high school students in their community. Driven by personal experiences, they established wellness centers at two high schools in hopes of creating spaces for students to connect with one another. This year, the team is strengthening collaboration across schools by establishing consistent monthly meetings with high schools in the district, along with Bring Change to Mind (BC2M) leaders and advisors.
