NeurodiversiTEA is winding down our time in Advocacy Academy. We are in the home stretch of our eight week internship. Our project has come far since we decided to focus on Mental Health Education. To say that we here at NeurodiversiTEA are so proud of our project is an understatement. We want to thank you all for supporting our mission. As a reminder when Advocacy Academy is over our NeurodiversiTEA tumblr page will become inactive and will be deleted.

We Are Advocacy Academy 2019.

We believe that mental health and neurodiversity education should be taught in schools from a young age.

Anxiety and depression affect the lives of many students. Some of them might not even be aware they have a mental health condition, or are too afraid of judgment to seek help. Autism is seen as a bad thing, and is commonly used an insult instead of being seen as a natural difference in how your brain is wired.

The mental health of students makes a huge impact on them throughout their entire school career, and giving them the knowledge and tools to help themselves can make all the difference. Knowing proper self care is a necessity for youth. It is incredibly easy to fall into unhealthy coping mechanisms like Self Harm and eating disorders that can have a negative impact on their lives.

Students should know that neurodiversity is a natural part of the human experience, and it is a beautiful thing. If you need to seek help for problems you’re having, that does not make you weak. It makes you human. Acceptace is the first step to healing.

Please take our survey on mental health in schools.
