Schools: Behavior is out of control! We need more “mental health supports”. Me: I agree that behavior is out of control. I disagree that more “mental health supports” is the solution. Students need to know there are rules and consequences that will be consistently enforced. They need to know adults, not the students, are in charge. And they need to know they can’t manipulate those adults or the system. We need to stop labeling everything a “mental health issue” and start addressing the real issues.

Shifting our perspective is crucial to understanding and supporting those affected by trauma. Let's make a difference.
