There can be benefits to social media, yet there are also a significant number of considerations before allowing access to social media to kids. #youthmentalhealth #socialmedia #mentalhealth

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The U.S. surgeon general issued a public advisory warning of the risks of social media use to young people. His report urged immediate action from policymakers, tech companies and parents to safeguard against potential harms to mental health and wellbeing. https://t.co/26ERyVfgys

Do your students receive Medicaid-funded school health services?

Continuous coverage protection has ended. But schools can still help families with outreach, enrollment, assistance & more!

Check out @healthyschools' toolkit for more info: https://t.co/ZzVs69IZzk

Only about 30 hospitals statewide have beds for kids who need inpatient mental health care. “No matter what the investment is, we need to make it,” says one doctor. https://t.co/z0dnSjkKeW

Prioritizing #mentalhealth is critical, especially for young people. Children's Advocates for Change released a #policy paper w/ recommendations to support #youth mental health. Read it here: https://t.co/ss3lva4BQQ #mentalhealthawareness #educators

Young people who start drinking before age 15 are 5x more likely to develop alcohol problems as adults than those who begin drinking at 21 or older. It's important to talk early & often to your kids about the dangers of underage drinking: #TalkTheyHearYou

[Sarah Galla, MSW, LCSW, RYT @SarahGalla3]

Fantastic idea!

If you didn't have a chance to attend our public policy forum on youth mental health needs, you can view it at https://t.co/PBr7AhAT22. Below, Daniel H. Gillison, Jr., of the National Alliance on Mental Illness talks about mental health services and schools. #youthmentalhealth

[Sarah Galla, MSW, LCSW, RYT @SarahGalla3]

Students can take up to 5 #mentalhealth days in Illinois. The missed work may add to the stress youth are experiencing & deter them from taking a needed day. Yet the work is part of the learning process. How do we close this gap to support #studentmentalhealth?
