WE CARE Assembly

As part of our Upper School health and wellness curriculum, on October 19, the division held a ninth grade assembly featuring WE CARE Collaborative's speakers Madeleine Moore and Sarah Wilson, health and wellness experts who work with adolescent and emerging adult populations in high school and college settings. Moore's expertise is in substance use prevention and harm reduction, and Wilson has extensive experience in health promotion and mental health. The interactive and engaging assembly focused on substance use and trends in mental health among high school-age students, an introduction to harm reduction and how it shows up in our lives already, and how to use active bystander skills to help a friend.
