Make It OK May 2025! May is Mental Health Awareness!
Make it OK is here to help educate Iowans and get the conversations going. Take the online pledge to stand up to mental illness stigma in Iowa, then start by learning what a mental illness really is. Then, find out what to say and not to say when someone opens up to you. You can also help others by sharing your own story to help people know they aren’t alone.

2nd grade students are beginning a pollination unit. They have been studying Iowa pollinators and their importance.
