Sophomore Mental Health Assembly

When

10/24/2025, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

Where

Lecture Hall

Members of the Class of 2028 will attend an assembly on Friday, October 24th from 2pm-3pm in the lecture hall. St. Georges Tech has a student-led organization called UnLocke The Light that focuses on promoting awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health. They provide supervised peer mental health support and foster the idea that students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed are not alone.

The main objective of the assembly is to educate and increase awareness of warning signs of depression and suicide, and to assist young people in navigating conversations with others to offer support through mental health challenges. The presentation aims to remove the stigma surrounding depression and suicide, and empower youth to take charge of their mental health.

The speaker for this event is Angela Pugliese, Director of Sean's House. Students will also watch a video from the SL24 Foundation, linked below, telling the story of Sean Locke. The foundation was created in his honor. St. George's also has its own Sean's Room, a mini version of Sean's House. If time permits, we will do a Q/A. Support staff and guidance counselors are prepared to discuss any issues/concerns students may have after the presentation.
