By Airi Nomura – Loveland, Colorado … At Campion Academy, many of the students and staff are grieving the loss of their friend, Timothy, a fellow student who recently died unexpectedly. Not only that, but teenagers, in general, are increasingly struggling with depression, anxiety, and social disconnection.
We naturally want to help uplift friends in challenging situations, but sometimes don’t know what to say or what to do for individuals who are going through a crisis of grief or mental health.
Sandy Eickmann, Licensed Professional Counselor, has been volunteering at Campion as a grief counselor over the past few weeks since Timothy’s death. She shared some important ways to support individuals dealing with grief.

By Advent Health — The stigma that still surrounds mental health conditions prevents many individuals from seeking help when they need it most. When one is part of a minority group, those stigmas can be even more difficult to overcome.
We’re here to help break those barriers and talk about how our Black communities in particular are affected when it comes to mental health conditions and stereotypes. Help is around the corner and should be sought out whether the condition is mental or physical. Body, mind and spirit work together to form our whole health. When one is suffering, the others are affected.
