The month of October can bring a lot of new things; dark and dreary weather, Halloween jumps and scares, and of course, mid term exams and tests. Have you been wanting to do something since the start of the new school year but haven’t because of your fear of it? In the spirit of Halloween, why don’t you try and conquer your fear and face what you’re scared of? Everyone gets freaked out from time to time, but conquering your fears is extremely rewarding! Maybe you are scared to apply for a scholarship in fear of rejection? Maybe you are scared to try out for a sports team? Tell a friend a secret? Try out for a part in a school play? Whatever it is, you can always muster up the courage to face your fears. Maybe it will take some time, but it will be worth it in the end!

This month we have a ton of articles that go over what it takes to professionally help people with their mental health including Career Profiles on mental health heros, mental health counselors, rehabilitation counselors, personal home care aids, and Personal support workers.

Be sure to check out one of our STEM articles in the Feature Article section that talks about jobs that include a high amount of creativity in technology fields.

Happy Halloween and stay safe!
