Joliet West High School lack of empathy towards students dealing with mental health
The Issue
a student was recently removed from the school for the remainder of the year, being told she cannot take the finals. the reason being for her removal was a panic attack. this is the second time the school has done punishment to her for a panic attack, and providing almost no services for her mental health.
if you or anyone you know has dealt with JWHS or the Joliet Township school district bringing injustice, either to events that didn't need punishment, or discrimination based on mental health, we encourage you to speak up and join our cause to hopefully bring awareness to the district on behalf of mental health options, along with fair punishment. if we get the districts attention, out goal is to find ways to bring more social services to students, and find new ways to ways to assist students with mental health. this can be fixed in many ways, whether it be having more experienced workers in the school, or providing more tools for students.
