I understand the Mental Health Peer Program as the first line of defense in preventing‚ detecting‚ and helping students understand and solve basic mental health challenges. Educating students is a huge part of what peers do to try and not only prevent mental health from going unnoticed‚ but also to reduce the stigma that is attached to it.

The poem has an outstanding portrayal of exactly how difficult times were during the Depression. At first glance this poem could simply be about a man burying his child.
