Mental Health Mentality Series

This survey gives community members, students and parents a chance to share their thoughts and opinions about mental health awareness in the community and Shelby County Schools. The results will be part of the final article in our three-part Mental Health Mentality series, which has been examining mental health awareness and what changes are in progress in the Shelby County School System as well as the surrounding community. Read the first part of the series here. For more information or further input, email 280 Living reporter Alyx Chandler at achandler@starnespublishing.com. Thank you in advance for your time.
