“Anyone who knows anything about trauma knows it manifests itself in a variety of ways at any time. So, if anybody needs anything at all, all they need to do is reach out to a trusted adult.” From @mcps

I want to unpack this a bit. @mcps is asking students to ask for help. Adults struggle to ask for help, and yet we are asking teenagers to self advocate for help after a series of significant stressors?
Instead of putting this on the kids, why don’t the adults step up? I know the teachers are checking in on students, but they can’t do it all. Get more adults in buildings who are available throughout the school day.
There are many parents, including those with mental health training, who will be glad to take a few days off and be a presence for the students to drop in and talk to confidentially.
