PJHS: National Depression & Mental Health Screening Month

The High School guidance department would like to remind everyone that October is National Depression & Mental Health Screening Month. Major depression is one of the most common mental illnesses affecting more than 8% of Americans (21 million) each year, with 19.5% of youth ages 12-17, or about 4.8 million youth, reporting they are affected by major depression.

However, depression is treatable and the guidance staff urges anyone who is feeling overwhelmed or depressed to seek help from a professional--we have information in the guidance office to help connect you with someone who can listen and help.

PJHS: October Character Trait of the Month

The high school guidance staff would like to remind students and families that the character trait of the month for October is mindfulness. Students are encouraged to please wear purple on Wednesdays to represent mindfulness.

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present~~aware of what we are doing and how our body feels and the ability to maintain a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, coupled with the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something. It is a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. When we are mindful, we are not overwhelmed and do not overreact to what is going on around us.
