Tulip Project seeks to “smash the stigma”
ELLSWORTH — Depression. Anxiety. These are the current buzzwords for teenagers and those who work with them after a year-plus of shutdowns, hybrid or remote schooling and social distancing. But students at Ellsworth High School were called to action through the Yellow Tulip Project, a movement that began in Falmouth and spread as a nation of youth caught on. The initiative aims to “smash the stigma of mental illness” through open conversations about mental illness and mental health struggles.
EHS seniors Abigail Mazgaj and Calvin Nelson both were drawn to the project through their involvement with the school chapter of Rachel’s Challenge, which addresses bullying in schools. The two spoke to School Board members on April 13 about the project with Assistant Principal Rebecca Wright and Adult Education Director Annie Sargent.
