Mental Illness
As an educator, you are faced with difficult
challenges every dayteaching, preparing activities,
grading papers and managing classrooms. In
addition, many times you are called upon to teach life
skills, resolve conflicts and provide counsel to
students. But when it comes to dealing with student
behavior that stems from a mental health disorder or
an undiagnosed mental illness, you could find
yourself with no place to turn for support.
Thats where we can help! We are the Mental Health
Association of greater Chicago (MHAGC) and we are
here to provide just the kind of support you need as
an educator.
