CHS ninth grader Estelle M. has been recognized for her submission to Northwell Health’s “Erase the Stigma” art competition.
Estelle took second place for her artwork.
The contest aimed to bring attention to May’s Mental Health Awareness Month and to help fight mental health stigma. This year’s theme was “#HopeStartsHere.”
The contest’s mission was to highlight mental health as an essential part of overall health and to provide a creative space in which students share their voice.
The artwork was judged on its originality, creativity and how well it expressed the contest theme.
Winners will have their work displayed by Cohen Children’s Medical Center.
