11th Grade Mental Health Interdisciplinary Project | South Bronx Community Charter High School

While battling the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual stress of a global pandemic, the 11th grade scholars at South Bronx Community Charter High School participated in a Mental Health Interdisciplinary Project (MHIP). The MHIP challenged scholars to focus on a mental health disorder and develop a creative project to display that will showcase the important elements of the disorder. Scholars created podcasts, comic strips, magazines, posters and much more to increase awareness of their mental health disorder. Check them out! Also follow us on Instagram for daily mental health posts.
