After handing out a flyer, Isabella Bowden smiles encouragingly to Wildcat parents. The Mental Health Club hopes to promote well-being for all students at The Grove. "It's a really good opportunity to spread awareness for about topics like anxiety depression and stress, and make it known that it's normal to have those things," Bowden said.
