Ramona High School
Riverside County
We are students at Ramona High School, and this is our first year collaborating with the Mental Awareness and Wellness Center on our campus. Our decision to join this initiative stems from our personal experiences with mental health challenges, which are common among high school students. Our video focuses on suicide awareness because we have witnessed peers seeking help or struggling to find the right support. This specific video focuses on the depression, anxiety and emptiness that can make students feel in a loop, going through the day without actually being in the right head set. As peer educators, we have gained a comprehensive understanding of the resources available on our campus. This enables us to guide ourselves and other students at Ramona High School to trusted adults who can provide the necessary support.
