When HSE High School student Ranvir Sandhu’s mother attempted suicide, he was motivated to start a school club aimed at educating others about mental health.  He got the help of Principal Matt Kegley, School District Mental Health Coordinator Brooke Lawson, Spanish Teacher Leslie Caliz, and some others to start the club.  The Stigma Free Club now sports 70 members, with the goal of spreading education about fighting the stigma often attached to those suffering from mental illness.  The group is holding a special event August 11th.  You can learn more about that event at this link.

The Hamilton Southeastern School Board honored Ranvir and his fellow club members at the July 26th meeting.
