Project YES
What is Project YES?
Project YES is a free, online mental health resource built by, and for, young people.. You can try short activities on your own, or we can connect you to local resources near you.
It works – Science shows YES helps young people feel more in control of their lives.
It’s low-pressure – 100% free, no hidden fees, no ads, no strings attached.
It’s private – 100% anonymous, we don’t collect or sell personal data.
It’s fast – Start immediately, without waiting.
It’s safe – Created and vetted by experts at the Lab for Scalable Mental Health at Northwestern University and Koko.
You don’t need to sign up for Project YES.
Step 1: Visit our website: https://www.tryprojectyes.org/koko/
Step 2: Choose the activity that speaks to you
Our activities take 5-10 minutes and cover topics like body image, low mood, goal setting, eating disorders, confidence, self-compassion, self-harm, and suicide safety planning. Try as many or as few as you like.
Wednesday morning fun at DCHS!
Mr. Pagawisan’s Advanced Biology class has successfully concluded the construction phase of their final project: building self-sustaining biospheres! 🌍✨
Tasked with translating ecological concepts into a tangible model, students collaboratively planned and designed closed-system terrariums. 🪴 The hands-on building process required them to meticulously layer clay pebbles for drainage 🪨, pack nutrient-rich soil 🟤, and carefully arrange vibrant plant life. 🌿 To ensure a healthy and balanced miniature ecosystem, the young scientists also introduced essential decomposers, such as earthworms 🪱, to recycle nutrients once the glass containers were sealed. 🫙
With the physical construction complete, the students are now beginning a rigorous seven-day observation log. 📋🔬 They will actively monitor the water cycle 💧, plant growth 🌱, and overall ecological balance within their closed habitats, witnessing the principles of biology unfold in real-time. 📈🧬
Mr. Pagawisan’s Sophomore Biology students have been hard at work rolling up their sleeves (and snapping on their gloves!) for some incredible hands-on science this week!
Our budding biologists stepped into the lab to dissect frogs, earthworms, and starfish. This immersive experience allows students to step away from the textbooks and explore complex internal structures up close, comparing the unique biological systems and adaptations of amphibians, annelids, and echinoderms.
We are incredibly proud of the respect, focus, and scientific curiosity these sophomores demonstrated during their dissections. It takes a lot of precision and teamwork to navigate these labs, and they did a fantastic job! Way to go, future scientists! 🧬🔬
