Schools across the country say they’re seeing an uptick in disruptive behaviors. Some are obvious and visible, but others are quieter calls for help, like students putting their head down and refusing to talk. @kalynbelsha @Chalkbeat https://t.co/uOGgBcgEIA

Middle school is one of the most formative and sometimes chaotic periods of development, when adolescents begin to grapple seriously with who they are and their place in the world, while dealing with hormonal and physical changes. @hechingerreport @rnz1 https://t.co/GmdTmCD3Rb

Its hard to learn when it everything feels so uncertain.

"The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

Educators across the country say their top priority right now isn't doubling down on math or reading — it's helping students manage all of this pandemic-driven stress. @CTHerman @NPRCoryTurner https://t.co/Z4WhZ3ijQ7

We need to improve our support systems within their community, teach students how to rely on trusted adults within the community and build relationships, and slowly begin to bridge the trust gap. #community #Mentalhealth #SuicidePrevention #scchat #education #edtech

[FightSong! @FightSongApp]

The trend in outsourcing #student support to third-party, surveillance, or machine learning companies is counter productive.
I ❤technology as much as the next person, but it is not a magic bullet. We still need to put the effort into engaging our direct school community.

🔎👀I just stumbled upon this amazing ❤national campaign @soundit_out A great resource & guide for engaging #students in a conversation about #Mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #SuicidePrevention #scchat #k12

Also not all trauma comes from outside sources.
ie. Self-inflicted trauma from feeling guilty and intrusive thoughts.
You don't have to have somthing big happen to you to be traumatized. #Mentalhealth #traumainformed #depression #scchat

[PAINTED BRAIN @ThePaintedBrain]

RT if you agree:
Describing depression solely as a brain disease increases helplessness and substance use among those who are depressed and decreases help-seeking. Depression must be seen as affected by a constellation of factors, including environmental and socio-economic ones.

As teachers think about promoting student agency in classrooms, they might find this sketchnote from @kwiens62 helpful.

There is no one-size-fit-all solution to supporting students. No flowchart to guaranteed student success. 💬 Everthying starts with a conversation #scchat #k12 #MentalHealthMatters #SEL #studentsuccess

[FightSong! @FightSongApp]

I absolutely ❤this solution. though I guess I'm biased since #SEL skills and #K12 #Mentalhealth is my jam.

[Education Reform Now @EdReformNowUSA]

Many states are leveraging their #ARP #EESER funds to address the social-emotional impact of the pandemic: @oksde has founded the School Counseling Corps and @NMPED has created EngageNM to provide students with both a counselor and an academic coach. #EvidenceBasedSchoolYear

[New America Ed @NewAmericaEd]

A5: I have to quickly flag that I LOVE that this is a question you're all thinking about, because parents we surveyed said #SEL is their Number 1 concern for their children during school re-opening, even more than academics. 🤯
