Mental Health Awareness Resources

We want to help our NSHSS community with an array of resources and opportunities focused on mental health. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but we know that this topic is important to our members year-round.

NSHSS encourages our members and families to watch the Netflix film "The Social Dilemma." NSHSS hosted an exclusive panel discussion in a follow-up to the documentary that was moderated by Kolby Keo, NSHSS Fellows Trustee, and featured the filmmaker Jeff Orlowski, renowned psychiatrist Dr. Anna Lembke, and former Facebook executive, Tim Kendall. This discussion was a deep dive into how social media continues to affect human beings, including our mental health, negatively. Is there still time to change the cycle, or are we in too deep?

The Social Dilemma

The stigma surrounding mental illness has become far too common, but more and more individuals are speaking out and raising awareness on the issue. NSHSS wants to award three students for their positive efforts in spreading awareness and effecting change regarding mental health. We are awarding five (5) $2,000 scholarships.
