Mental Health "ACT Now" Presentations - Hillsborough County Public Schools recognizes that educating children involves promoting their mental wellness as well as their academic achievement. To encourage positive mental health, all grade levels will be participating in ACT Now! class sessions with Student Services personnel (school counselors, school psychologists, and school social workers).
The focus of these sessions is to define mental health, recognize concerning behaviors, learn healthy coping skills, identify trusted adults, and receive information regarding local and national resources. “ACT” in ACT Now! stands for:
A = Acknowledge signs that the student or a peer may need mental health support
C = Demonstrate Care in interactions
T = Tell a trusted adult (school personnel, parents, and others)
Presentation topics by grade level
K-3rd gr: school safety and trusted adults
4th-5th gr: mental health, school safety, and trusted adults
6th-12th gr: mental health, suicide prevention and school safety
If you would like your child to participate in ACT Now! no further action is needed.
If you would like to opt-out your child, fill out the ACT Now Opt-Out form
