2. Unaccompanied children in ORR custody are typically only permitted access to two telephone calls per week, 10 minutes each, with their family members. Some children are allowed even less time than this to speak with their loved ones, often with little to no privacy.

An overwhelmingly white field, school psychology has largely failed to adopt a lens of intersectionality & act on the knowledge that social determinants (e.g. adverse early experiences, poverty, food insecurity, discrimination, ed. inequities) deeply affect child mental health 1/

Our collective values are also a social determinant of health. Actually supporting child mental health will not be possible if we maintain our complicity with capitalist and racist policy/practice, which drive social determinants of mental health 6/
