My Future Matters because iMatter
iMatter is a districtwide initiative that reflects LAUSD’s commitment to supporting the whole child in partnership with families, communities, and colleagues. The initiative works to reduce stigma, expand mental health access, and foster a culture of care across our schools.
April’s iMatter theme is My Future Matters.
In this student-led message, Audrina Carranza, a senior and member of the Chief Medical Director’s Student Advisory Council, shares a powerful reminder: the small things we do today—like preparing for tests, managing stress, planning ahead, asking for help, and celebrating progress—can shape our future.
Taking care of your mental health is part of investing in what comes next. You don’t have to have it all figured out—just take it one step at a time.
