– A Thomas Jefferson High School senior wants to break the stigma surrounding mental health, especially among teens.“I’ve dealt with depression, anxiety for most of my life,” Gonzales said.
Talking about his mental health has helped him with his own struggle and he wants other students to not be afraid to talk about it.This year’s Mental Health Awareness Walk was held at Alamo Stadium for the first time this year and more than 100 community members and students participated. “It is very important to keep talking about mental health without talking about this we’ll lose more and more people,” student participant Jaime Valdez said.
Despite graduating this year, Gonzales hopes this walk will become a tradition and take place for many more years. There are many resources available both locally and nationally for parents to get their children help if they believe they are struggling with mental health issues.
