学校可能充满压力、焦虑，会导致惊恐发作，甚至精神倦怠——但是与需要将健康状况放在首位的学生来说，通常并没有应对相关问题的官方政策可以参考。海莉 · 哈德卡斯尔（Hailey Hardcastle）解释了为什么学校应该设立“精神健康日”，让学生有时间在不受歧视的环境下实践精神卫生。跟随海莉来学习她和一组青少年如何把他们的主张变成了法律。

关于学生“精神健康日”的讨论

Giving students official mental health days, just like sick days, can protect well-being and even save lives. In Oregon, suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10 to 24, showing how urgent this issue is. Institutionalizing breaks for emotional care opens up vital conversations, helps spot struggling students early, and challenges the stigma surrounding mental illness. Treating mental and physical health as equally important can change the culture of schools for the better.
