While some see it as a way to improve focus and mental health, others argue it ignores deeper issues in education and student well-being.

What if mental health wasn’t just an afterthought in schools but a core part of education? In this episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt discuss Iman's proposal for a TOTAL Health curriculum—an integrated approach to brain health, psychological well-being, social development, and life skills in K-12 education. I’ll also share insights from my upcoming book, Rebranding Mental Health, which challenges the way we think about mental well-being and calls for systemic change. It’s time to build a future where total health is the foundation, not an afterthought.
