During the 2022-2023 school year, seven hundred thirty-four (734) 3rd and 4th grade students signed Gizmo's Mental Health Action Plan. Gizmo’s Pawesome Guide to Mental Health Guide takes an upstream approach to support the mental health and wellness of youth.
As part of the pledge, students agree to a) take care of their mental health every day, b) talk to their trusted adult, and c) complete their Mental Health Plan and use it when they feel sad, mad or worried.
The plan asks students to 1) identify things they can do to take care of their mental health: feelings, thoughts, and actions, 2) identify how to know if they are feeling mad, sad or worried, 3) identify people and places they think can help them think of other things, 4) identify things they can do with others to feel better, and 5) identify who are their trusted adults.
