Don’t Mute Mental Health – Two PARENT FOCUSED events on Wednesday and Friday

The Office of the Student Advocate (OSA) is partnering with the Office of the Deputy Mayor of Education (DME) this week to host a week-long social media campaign, entitled “Don’t Mute Mental Health”. The goal of the series is to promote physical, mental, and emotional wellness in students, families, and teachers amid-COVID-19.

The Instagram Live events will be held on OSA’s Instagram account (@dc.advocate) each day and will include discussions with local and national experts. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Courtney Warren (Courtney.warren@dc.gov) or Renatta Landrau (Renatta.Landrau@dc.gov).
