May is recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month. Throughout May, Windward Counselors hosted weekly "Wellness Wednesdays" as a way of fostering support, discussion, and collaboration in regards to mental wellness. On May 24, Windward students, faculty, and staff were treated to a special community event featuring an assortment of student speakers. Zach Gottlieb '24, Ella Asher '24, Marielle Lerner '24, and Luca Measer '25 all touched on their own mental health journeys, sharing stories, recommendations, and insights as a way of reminding their peers that they aren't alone. They also invited discussion from those in attendance, creating an open dialogue of trust and support. We're so proud of our students for their interest and passion in creating a safe space for all.
Thank you to our brave speakers for sharing their stories, and to our counselors for providing this space for support!
