Due to the advocacy of Hickory Flat Elementary Mental Health and Wellness Facilitator Dr. Shamira Webb, Gov. Brian Kemp recently signed a first-of-its-kind proclamation designating November as Educator Mental Health Awareness Month across Georgia.
Earlier this week, Dr. Webb led a wellness session for teachers and staff at HFE, where she was celebrated by district leaders, Principal Dr. Dawn Blackwell, and her colleagues. Thank you, Dr. Webb, for reminding us that caring for ourselves is part of caring for our students!

@HFE_HCS MHWF Dr. Webb is a trailblazer for educator wellness across Georgia. Her passion and purpose remind us that self care is not selfish it is strength. When educators rise in wellness the whole community rises with them. 💙💛 #EducatorMentalHealthMonth@Lakanijones

These phenomenal Mental Health and Wellness Facilitators took the time to help welcome our newest members of the Henry County family during our Orientation for New Teachers.
Love that these ladies volunteered their time to come to the new educator orientation to make meaningful connections with the new teachers and let them know our facilitators are here to help!
