Being a student can be very stressful. In high school, you are given more responsibilities than you have ever had, and it can get quite overwhelming, but there are ways to overcome these stressful feelings. Good mental health is the key to having a great day and a successful school year, which is something everyone should strive for. The 20Time group composed of Rachel Harms, Brandi Patton, and Isla Schilling have compiled a list of resources for students on the school website which help overcome challenging feelings and mental health struggles.

The resources on the website are quite broad and span far to reach many different people. Some of the resources give information on anxiety and depression and go deep into the reasoning behind the feelings as well as how to manage the way you feel. While those resources go deep into reasoning your feelings, some resources are as simple as a list of positive quotes to start the day off right and breathing exercises to bring you back to a safe and peaceful mindset. Other resources help prevent the feelings of stress, rather than just managing it. Time management and organization are a big factor in student stress, and learning how to manage the stress can help prevent you from feeling it. There are also cyberbullying resources and crisis hotline numbers.

This Google Doc is important for students because of the positive benefits it can give them. It is very easy to feel alone when you are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed, but you aren’t alone and it is important for you to know that. There are many ways to find help, as these resources are the best ones to get you started. Having a healthy mindset and mental health is important because that is when you can work and be your best. Making every day your best is the way to have a good school year, which is what the Google Doc is there to do. Remember, you are never alone and there are always sources to find help.
