Once a month we set time aside to focus on this initiative as we teach students to Notice, Invite, Challenge, and Empower. Our first be nice. day is scheduled for Tuesday, September 29th in conjunction with Positive T-Shirt Tuesday.
You can make a difference today.
Learn each step of the be nice. action plan below!
notice- what is right and good about someone so you can notice when something is different about the way that person is thinking, acting, or feeling- their mental health!
Invite - take a risk and reach out. If you notice changes lasting two weeks or longer, it’s time to invite yourself to check in with that person or open up to someone you trust if you are personally struggling.
challenge - challenge the stigma surrounding mental illness and treatment, challenge yourself or an individual to get help, and challenge yourself to ask the tough questions.
empower - empower yourself and others with the knowledge that YOU can have an effect on how a person thinks, acts, and feels. be empowered with the knowledge that there are resources to help and there is always hope.
