As we journey through the month of May, Day Stars Private Schools, Osogbo, wishes to remind everyone—students, parents, staff, and members of our wider community—that mental health is just as vital as physical health.

In the hustle and bustle of academics, work, and daily responsibilities, it’s easy to overlook what’s happening within. But just as we care for our bodies with good food, exercise, and rest, our minds also need attention, compassion, and support.

  • Be kind to your mind – Take time each day to pause, breathe, and reflect. Engage in activities that bring you joy and peace, whether that’s reading, spending time with loved ones, listening to music, or simply enjoying quiet moments.
  • Check in with others – Sometimes, the smallest act of care—like asking someone how they’re doing or offering a listening ear—can make the biggest difference. Let’s create an environment where empathy flows freely, and no one feels alone.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help – Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply not yourself, talking to a trusted friend, teacher, parent, or counselor can be a powerful first step toward healing.

At Day Stars Private Schools, we are committed to fostering a culture where every child and adult feels seen, heard, and valued. Let’s work together to break the stigma surrounding mental health, replace silence with understanding, and build a future where mental well-being is a shared priority.

This May, and every day, let’s care for one another—with kindness, with courage, and with love.

Warm regards,
The Management of Day Stars Private Schools, Osogbo.
