INTRODUCING OUR NEW HELP 4 STUDENTS SECTION!

School Support Staff, Guidance Counselors, Therapists Will Find Comic-Making a Powerful Tool to Aid Troubled Students.

Dear reader,

When I was a kid growing up in a tumultuous family, I suffered from great anxiety and depression.
That is why I take so personally today’s alarming news showing worsening trends in mental health in adolescents.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes as of 2021:

  • 42% of students felt persistently sad or hopeless
  • 29% experienced poor mental health
  • 22% considered suicide
  • 10% attempted suicide

MakeBeliefsComix launches our new HELP 4 STUDENTS section as a way to aid students with emotional problems. School guidance and mental health specialists -- as well as educators and parents -- can find it useful to encourage youngsters to express what is deep within them through creating comic strip stories about their troubling issues. Comic strips can be a helpful way to communicate one’s fears and concerns, as well as joys. As always, I welcome your suggestions and ideas to improve what we offer. billz@makebeliefscomix.com.

Yours sincerely,
Bill Zimmerman, Creator of MakeBeliefsComix.com
