📣🚨 In the news...
Last week, Prince George’s County Maryland Council Chair Edward Burroughs (District 8) teamed up with the incredible Taraji P. Henson 🎬💖—actor, mental health advocate, and founder of The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation—for an inspiring Youth Mental Health Symposium at Oxon Hill High School! 🎓✨
This FREE event was a game-changer, featuring innovative approaches like dance 💃, art 🎨, poetry ✍️, filmmaking 🎥, and gardening 🌱—all designed to help students find new ways to cope with stress and build resilience! 💪🌏
Chair Burroughs announced that next year, the program will expand to 6 middle and high schools across District 8, offering free therapy sessions, peer training, and more to support our youth's mental well-being! 🏫❤️
With data showing that nearly 1 in 5 PGCPS high school students have seriously considered suicide, this initiative is more important than ever. We’re committed to bringing vital mental health resources to our students and creating a brighter, healthier future! 🌟🧠
