May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Struggling with mental health can be a scary, dark or intense battle and it can be hard to talk about. Reach out to your people, your friends, teammates, family, coaches or another trusted adult. No one deserves to struggle alone.  If you need to talk, the mental health team here at BJHS (Mrs. Roy, Mrs. Weeks, Miss. Wood, Miss. Caitlin, Dr. Gleeson and nurse Jenn) are always ready to help, listen and support you.
