Staffing models vary, but 68% of public schools have a licensed mental health professional on staff, and 51% work with external providers (Panchal et al., 2019).

Does the lack of mental health support influence students’ academic performance? A resounding yes. As humans we have strong natural instincts driven by our amygdala—the part of the brain that controls our fight or flight response. This drives us to find food, shelter, safety and satisfy all of our basic human needs. If a student struggles mightily when they’re hungry, we provide Free and Reduced Food Services so they can satiate their need and begin to learn. If a student faces prolonged stress because of homelessness, we provide Shelter and Housing Services so they have relief to start learning. As demonstrated by these examples, if a student also struggles with internalized behaviors (depression, anxiety, etc), externalized behaviors (aggression, delinquency, hyperactivity, etc), or substance use disorders then they will struggle to learn. For this reason, schools play a role in supporting student mental health—not to mention LGBTQ+ and BIPOC members of our community are 20x more likely to learn about and receive mental health support in a school setting.  If students attend school with a strong amygdala response system, then it’s the school’s responsibility to do their best to help calm that response so every student can begin to learn." Just one of the many great answers from Jeremy Glauser during his conversation with FINN Partners about the student mental health crisis. Read the full Q&A here: https://lnkd.in/gyie7vy9
