Welcome to the season finale of the STEAM Box Joyful Rebellion Podcast! In this powerful episode, Dehlia McCarthy - HCS School Psychologist, and Superintendent Simona Simpson Thomas join the Highlander Charter School Youth to discuss critical mental wellness matters within our community.

We review recent data on self-harm among Rhode Island teens, providing a sobering look at the challenges many young people face. One of our brave students shares a deeply personal experience, describing a pervasive feeling of dread: "I wake up and I just don't want to be." Despite these struggles, we rebel and carry on with resilience and hope.

If you're struggling with feelings of self-harm or other mental health challenges, please reach out and dial 988 to speak with a counselor.

Please stay tuned for 2 Joyful Rebellion Bonus episodes in the coming weeks about gatekeeping in gaming, and dealing with our parents.

Welcome to the Joyful Rebellion Podcast with STEAM Box and Young Voices! 🌟 In this thought-provoking episode, we reflect on our recent Joyful Rebellion Celebration and are joined by Jessica Vega from RI Kids Count. Jessica breaks down the facts and data surrounding mental wellness in our schools, revealing the stark realities behind the numbers.

We dive into the clown show irony of the RI Attendance Matters campaign, and discuss how some people dismiss mental wellness as just another corporate buzzword, despite the very real struggles many face. Listen to one of our youth painfully explain that "it's really hard to exist" in today's world, where modern problems are compounded by willful ignorance.

Jessica Vega sheds light on how Rhode Island is falling short of the recommended ratios of school psychologists and social workers, and shares the heart-wrenching statistic that 9% of youth reported attempting su***de at least once in the past year. She also discusses where she believes additional funds should come from to better support our youth and then touches on the world of Yu-Gi-Oh.
