An open con- versation about anxiety, depression, vape use, and social media prob- lems steered the discus- sion in which students learned the signs of al- coholism and substance abuse and ways to seek help for themselves or others. Teens learned the connection between negative thoughts and internalizing feelings, which in turn a ff ect be- haviors like drinking, drugs, suicide, and self- harm. Students were em- powered with practical ways and examples to turn around the negative thoughts and to negate the harmful patterns. Students also learned the fl ight- fl ight-fawn- freeze methods in which professionals respond to threats. Mrs. Black gave the 24-hour suicide hotline (741-741) to stu- dents and emphasized that callers “don’t have to have an active plan to unalive themselves to call the hotline.” Jenny Jett, a student in Mrs. Carlton’s com- puter class brought to her attention the need of mental health awareness and coping strategies. Jenny has aspirations of starting a “Teens for Teens” group in which teens support each other through di ffi cult situations. Mrs. Carlton, Business Technology In- structor/FBLA Advisor, reached out to School Nurse Blair Douglas who helped arrange the meet- ing. In regards to the mental health meeting, Mrs. Carlton remarked, “Mrs. Black provided loads of incredibly ben- e fi cial information for our students to take and utilize in trying situa- tions. What stands out to me is how many chil- dren, teens, and adults are dealing with trauma. Mrs. Black explained that trauma is not just something big, but it is just not getting what you needed for too long. The trauma is stored in our body, and we have to deal with it. I am hopeful that the stigma of men- tal health needs will turn around and that we will begin to regularly pro- vide assistance to those in need.” Nurse Blair echoed these sentiments, “Shan- non was fantastic and was really able to con- nect with the students on their level! Also, see- ing a diverse group come together and openly give feedback was very eye opening! Our students were brave, honest, and engaged. Mercy provides a wonderful program for our students, and we are lucky to have them as a resource. To my students, I give you the wisdom of Lili Reinhart, ‘You are the one thing in this world, above all oth- er things, that you must never give up on.’” Jenny Jett & Shannon Black, Therapist at Mercy Clinic –Photo submitted Democrats to Hold Heritage Dinner on June 1 Columbia, May 23, 2024— The Maury Coun- ty Demo- c r a t i c P a r t y will hold its 21st A n n u a l He r i t age D i n n e r on Satur- day, June 1 at the UAW Local 1853 Hall in Spring Hill.
