National Alliance on Mental Illness - Ending the Silence Presentation (6-12th Grade)
On Tuesday December 3rd at 10:00 AM Danielle Leeds from the National Alliance on Mental Illness will be coming to our school to speak with 6th-12th grade students regarding mental illnesses, focusing on suicide prevention. Woonsocket students will also be in attendance at this event. NAMI Ending the Silence is a presentation designed to give audience members an opportunity to learn about Mental Illness through an informative PowerPoint and short videos. This presentation outlines symptoms of mental health conditions and gives attendees ideas about how to help themselves, friends, or family members who may need support. Handouts and resources will also be provided at this event.

National Alliance on Mental Illness - PreK-12th Grade Parent/Guardian Informational Presentation
All Sanborn Central and Woonsocket school district PreK-12th grade parents and guardians are invited to attend the National Alliance on Mental Illness parent/guardian informational session, which will be held on the evening of Tuesday, December 3rd at 6:30 pm at Sanborn Central school in the gymnasium. Similarly to the student session, this presentation is designed to inform audience members about mental health conditions, more specifically the warning signs and symptoms to look for. This presentation will include essential information regarding how to help oneself, one's child, friends, or family members who may need mental health support. The goal of this program is to educate oneself about mental health disorders, what signs to look for, how to support a loved one with a mental health disorder, and where/how to seek treatment. 
NAMI Presentation Flyer
Please reach out to Mrs. Gassman with any questions or concerns regarding either the parent/guardian program or the student program. Although this is a difficult topic, it is one highly important topic that needs to be addressed and discussed in an effort to reduce the negative stigma around mental health. We really hope to see a good turnout at the parent/guardian program. We hope to see you there!
