Green Table Talks for Mental Health Awareness Month

As part of Mental Health Awareness Month and the “My Mind Matters” initiative, students at Dixon participated in meaningful Green Table Talks led by Dixon’s counselor, Miss Mitchell. The event brought together six diverse groups of 5th through 8th grade students for open and honest conversations about mental health and emotional wellness.

During the discussions, students shared their thoughts and experiences on important topics such as stress, anxiety, healthy coping skills, being supportive friends, and understanding the feelings of others. The Green Table Talks created a safe space where students felt heard, respected, and encouraged to speak openly.

The event was filled with thoughtful, student-led dialogue that highlighted the importance of communication, empathy, and mental health awareness within the school community. Dixon is proud to continue creating opportunities that remind students that their voices and their minds matter.
