Dealing and struggling with mental health can be exhausting at points. Many students are dealing with things that we are not even aware of and sometimes just need a break. Mental health days can offer students a much needed rest day, improve academic performance, open up conversations about mental health as it is an up and coming topic, and promotes self care!

The first being students taking advantage of this system to get out of attending school. Next, frequent absences can sadly lead to poor academic results, falling behind in classes which can lead to more stress instead of reduced stress. Lastly, while taking a day off can be very important, it is not what should always be done. Sometimes, even when we have mental struggles, we still have to go to work or school. With mental health days, students may think it is okay to ignore their problems.
