“Dear Evan Hansen” & mental health awareness

Mental health awareness is so important, especially during this time of isolation due to the pandemic.

I just finished listening to the audio book based on the Broadway musical “Dear Evan Hansen.” It is a story about High school students living with isolation, anxiety and a peer who committed suicide.


Here are some resources that they suggested:

https://childmind.org

https://crisistextline.org text 741741 to text with a trained counselor

https://thetrevorproject.org dedicated to LGBTQ youth

With more to be found at https://dearevanhansen.com/


Your library might have the novel or even the sound recording of the musical. 


Wishing you and your loved ones the opportunity to discuss difficult topics that might make a world of difference.
