During Mental Health Week, officers had the chance to visit the high school and connect with students. A few simple reminders for everyone:

• It’s okay to not be okay — asking for help is a sign of strength.
• Check in on yourself and others; a small conversation can make a big difference.
• You’re not alone — support is available, and people care about your well-being.

Let’s keep the conversation going and continue supporting one another, this week and beyond.
Please see https://t.co/VWFPxM44KS for contact information on mental health resources.
