World Mental Health Day❤ CPS wants you to know just as physical health is more than the absence of disease; mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Throughout your life, if you experience mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected. Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including 🧠Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry 🚫Life experiences, such as trauma or abuse 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Family history of mental health problems Mental health problems are common, but help is available. People with mental health problems can get better, and many recover completely. We encourage you to "Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help and brave enough to ask for it." - Unknown CPS has several resources for our students, staff, and families. 9 - school counselors 12 - behavioral health coaches 3 - school-based social workers 6 - school nurses 3 - school resource officers 3 - school psychologist and a team of Grand Mental Health counselors in our buildings ready to help daily.

At Claremore High School, students participated in a blood typing lab where they performed a presumptive test to confirm that the substance in question was actually blood. Next, samples were gathered from both the persons of interest and the victim. Students then used these samples to determine blood types and identify potential suspects who might have been at the crime scene. The lab followed a structured experimental design process, helping students learn about blood cells and their critical role in the human body. 🦓❤🔬 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
