OUR GOAL

​The goal of the MSHS Mental Health Team is to change the narrative of mental health and create change through mental health education.  

We want to provide students, teachers, and the school community resources for mental health services. 

We want to turn the stigma of mental health inside out!

​We want everyone to understand that it is ok to NOT be ok.

Marion Senior High School is currently the only school in Smyth County to have a Mental Health Team. We take pride in being the leaders of this movement & opening the conversation about mental health in our schools!
