May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to speak up, break down stigma, and center well-being in our schools and communities. In this special episode of the Ruff Draft Podcast, we’re joined by Clyde High School Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, Bethany Odom.

Together, we dive into the evolving conversation around student mental health, common challenges high schoolers face, and how educators, families, and peers can offer meaningful support. From social media stress to burnout prevention for teachers, this episode is packed with insights, practical tips, and encouragement for anyone navigating school life.

Let’s make mental health a priority—not just in May, but every day. 💚
