About Show and Heal
Our Mission:Depression, anxiety and isolation pervade the daily lives of youth.

Self-Care 101
Show and Heal has been running Self-Care 101 at John I Leonard High School for 3 years. When the coronavirus hit, we transformed it into an online support system, which consists of a mental health counselor, a teacher (Ms. Xi), and students checking in to express their concerns, fears, and feelings during the pandemic. Below students share how the Self-Care 101 program has helped them..
