Spanish Teacher's Powerful Mental Health Campaign Uses Short Films to Reach Students

Spanish Teacher Launches Mental Health Awareness Campaign in Schools A Spanish teacher, known online as Maestro De Colegio, has launched a powerful mental health awareness campaign in schools, using short films to highlight common challenges faced by adolescents. The campaign, titled "PodríaserYo" (It Could Be Me), is a collaboration with Angelini Pharma and aims to equip teachers and students with resources to address issues such as depression, anxiety, and self-harm. "Como maestro, sé lo importante que es estar atento a las señales," says Maestro De Colegio in the video. "The campaign not only raises awareness but also provides tools to help us identify and support cases in the classroom." The short films tackle sensitive topics head-on, offering a visual representation of the struggles students may face. The campaign's approach has been praised for its sensitivity and directness. It provides teachers with practical tools to discuss mental health openly with their students, fostering a more supportive and understanding learning environment. The initiative is a positive step toward destigmatizing mental health issues and promoting help-seeking behavior among young people.
