#ThoughtForTheDay This is what it’s all about. What if every coach took time to listen to the stories of their players as a team? What a difference it could make. #Culturize
TY @marisa_iati @washingtonpost for this story on the kindness of a 7year-year-old: Photo of second-grade boy holding crying classmate’s hand on first day of school goes viral. https://t.co/FfM3lScHFo

@CounselorSambi@Counselorkam@JenniferWTran@counselorfaris@kimberly_lauxen Agreed! Over 2 million youth cope with severe major depression. Depression in youth often co-occur with other disorders like substance abuse, anxiety and disorderly behavior. The number of youth experiencing Severe MDE increased by 100,000 from last year’s dataset! #HereToHelp
“It’s really important that the school staff be given all the #support & the training that they need to work with kids with a wide range of special education needs. #Special#education shouldn’t be a dead end for anybody. It should be a road to success.”

She called to thank me for helping her child find her confidence & passion for learning this year. ❤️
