What is Mental Health?

Coping with mental health concerns negatively impacts young people’s ability to meet the many demands of school, including cognitive demands for learning, social and emotional demands for making friends and behaving according to school rules, norms, and expectations, and physical demands for being active throughout the school day.

Lee County Public School’s Mental Health & Wellness Page is designed to provide a wide variety of educational and community resources available to students, staff, and the community to support positive change, reduce stigma, and develop the capacity of all stakeholders to engage in wellness. More information about mental health
