May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 💚

As we enter one of the busiest and most demanding times of the school year, it’s important to remember to be gentle with ourselves and one another. We all face times when we aren't okay. Mental Health matters.

The small moments matter: the check-ins, the patience, the kindness, the pause. These moments may seem simple, but they build over time and make a meaningful difference in our well-being.

Take a second for yourself here.

A few deep breaths or have a sip of water, do something for a small reset.

It matters.

I’d also like to recognize Program Director Liz Roxberry for her leadership in guiding the team and leading by example—never hesitating to step in at any time to support where needed. Because of these efforts, students from across Saginaw County and beyond continue to experience the signature Hartley programming we know and value.”
