Thanks to Hailey Hardcastle, Oregon students can take days off because of depression or anxiety.
Along with fellow students Sam Adamson, Lori Riddle, and Derek Evans, Hardcastle worked with two pro bono lobbyists to draft language for the mental health days bill, as KGW reported., prior to the passage of the mental health days bill, students in Oregon were allowed five excused absences in a three-month period, but for situations limited to illness, a family member’s illness, medical appointments, and emergencies.
Debbie Plotnick, vice president for mental health and systems advocacy at Mental Health America , a mental health advocacy nonprofit organization, toldvia email that excused mental health days are an important step toward helping administrators identify students who are struggling “before stage 4 ,” a MHA philosophy that holds “that mental health conditions should be treated long before they reach the most critical points in the disease process.
“Being a teenager and knowing that you are most likely going to go into debt because of college is a very scary thought,” she said. “If you want to be able to afford college you have to do a ton of extracurriculars and get perfect grades and there’s just a higher standard now to be able to get things like scholarships and financial aid help than I think there was before.”
