Greely High School recognized by KyleCares for exceptional partnership and collaboration with a $4,000 grant.

A year ago, a group of Greely High School students wrote a grant that started Maine's second-only chapter of KyleCares/Active Minds, joining 47 other KyleCares chapters in New England and 700 Active Minds groups in the U.S. Dedicated to Kyle Johnson, KyleCares is a non-profit organization that promotes open and honest communication about the mental health challenges experienced by teens and young adults, aiming to eliminate self-harm and suicide by creating school environments that support seeking help without shame or hesitation. The motto "smash the stigma" describes the intent of KyleCares to make known that which has so often been relegated to a place of whispers.

This year, KyleCares is proud to honor Greely High School as one of five schools being recognized for its exceptional partnership and collaboration over the past 18 months. As a token of appreciation, KyleCares is awarding Greely High School a $4,000 grant. They view Greely High School's Active Minds chapter as a standout example, possibly the most dynamic and influential among the 47 chapters they have supported across three states.
