Our special guest today: Dr. Tony Walker serves on the executive team of The Jed Foundation (“JED”) – a national nonprofit that serves as a thought leader on school mental health and youth suicide prevention. JED works within Higher Education Institutions and PK-12 schools and districts to help leaders build systems that promote more positive mental health outcomes for youth. In his role, Dr. Walker leads JED's Academic Programs team, supporting the implementation of JED's programs and best practices of comprehensive school mental health and suicide prevention programming across our nation's education landscape.

In Session 243, Dr. Casey Dupart joins me to talk about School Psychology, and in doing so, we touched on a range of related topics including the challenges of military families, multi-tiered systems of supports, socio-emotional learning, school refusal, educational policy, and so much more.  As you'll hear in the interview, Casey has been a School Psychologist in various roles across several states. She also provides consultation and training through her company, Embracing Resilience. And while we're on that topic, she has a few webinars and workshops coming up on topics like Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Improving School Climate and Culture. You can find links to these events at the shownotes for this episode, or simply go to Embracingresiliance.org and click the services tab here.  I believe BCBAs serving in public school settings may be an increasing area of practice. According to the BACB, about 12% of the BCBA and BCBA-D certificants work in educational settings. Also, I was invited to speak about low-tech interventions for disruptive classroom behavior at the recent BABAT conference, and I was honestly shocked to how many attendees were interested in this topic, particularly given the many other excellent talks that were going on in the same time slot. As some of you may already know, I've been working with Anika Costa and Dr. Paulie Gavoni on a project called thebehavioraltoolbox.com to provide BCBAs and other school-based professionals trainings and tools to help them perform more successfully in these settings. Our first course, Ready, Set, Consult! is now available, and we've been really pleased with the feedback that we've gotten from our initial participants. We're also hard at work on getting our second course ready. This one is based off of the talk I gave at the recent BABAT conference. Our working title currently is, When NOT to FBA: 5 Quick Strategies for Improving Behavior in Classroom. I mention all of this to perhaps underscore the importance of being able to work both collaboratively and effectively in school settings. And I think this conversation with Casey will be helpful for BCBAs who are new to school settings, or who simply want to be more successful with the students they serve.  Here are some links to resources, etc... we discussed during the podcast: Back to School with PBIS, Session 198.

Today we are going to revisit a podcast from 2022 on teacher mental health. My colleague Steph speaks with Dr. Kris Scardamalia associate professor from the National Center for School Mental Health at the University of Maryland. If you enter “teacher mental health” into a search engine, you'll probably be met with a surprisingly short list of results. But teachers have long experienced high rates of stress and burnout, which have only grown in recent years.We wanted to take some time to address the long standing and often overlooked state of teacher mental health in the U.S. Well-meaning approaches tend to miss the glaring issue of broken structural supports that leave teachers and their students with little to work with.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in Louisiana and nationwide. According to the Orleans Parish School District, more than 60 children have been shot this year and 19 have died. Even as violent crime in general is dropping, the percentage of gun deaths of children under the age of 18 has increased nationally. In response, New Orleans public schools are taking a more active role in preventing and responding to violence by focusing on student mental health, conflict mediation and gun safety. Olin Parker, president of the Orleans Parish School Board, joins us to discuss the ways the district aims to help students and their families. Most Louisianans are all too familiar with the high utility bills that arrive in the hot summer months, as we try to cool down our homes. But these high costs can be the result of an inefficient and "unresilient" energy grid. Still, there are lots of ways consumers can keep their energy bills down – from installing solar panels to running the dishwasher at night instead of during the day. To learn more about “grid resiliency” and ways that individuals, businesses and even Mardi Gras krewes are committing to energy efficiency, we talk with Logan Burke, executive director of the Alliance for Affordable Energy.  But first, it's Thursday, which means it's time to catch up on this week in politics with The Times-Picayune | The Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. We  preview tonight's 7 p.m. gubernatorial debate, and hear why presumed frontrunner Jeff Landry is sitting it out.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

Hosts Melissa Loble and Ryan Lufkin visit with Texas A&M University's Dr. Jocelyn Widmer and student Ellie Richter about how important mental health is and how technology can help support teachers and students. Through Richter and Widmer's efforts, Texas A&M students now have access to a mental health button within Canvas. Widmer has worked in digital and online education for more than 15 years, most recently as the assistant provost for academic innovation and online learning at Texas A&M University. Prior to her role at TAMU, Widmer held joint faculty appointments in the Colleges of Architecture and Public Health at both the University of Florida and Virginia Tech. With global experience across 18 countries, she is recognized for her teaching and research that integrate technology to build digital literacy capacity in low-resource communities around the world. Richter is a history, philosophy, and pre-law student in her senior year at Texas A&M University. She has served one of the nation's largest student bodies as a member of the TAMU Student Government Association since her freshman year. She has been instrumental in bringing student-driven academic concerns to the university leadership to effect change. In her role as Vice President of Academic Affairs of SGA she championed a major OER initiative that is now supported by TAMU's Office of the Provost, saving students millions of dollars annually. The mental health button in Canvas was driven by Richter's passion for linking existing barriers to student success with innovative solutions. Her steadfast leadership that champions student success initiatives has led to transformational changes to academic policies and practices at TAMU that will have lasting impacts on Aggies well into the future.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/instructurecast/message

Areli and special guest, Dariana, talk about important mental health reminders for back-to-school.

As a new school year begins, students, particularly adolescents face a range of emotions and challenges. Academic pressures, peer pressure, body image and self-esteem issues, performance anxiety and bullying are just a few of the challenges that students can encounter. According to the National Institute for Mental Health approximately 20% of adolescents experience mental health disorders, typically beginning around age 14. On this Line One, host Dr. Jillian Woodruff explores the most common mental health disorders that affect adolescents, the crucial evaluations that help identify these issues, and the diverse range of treatments that can make a positive impact on their lives.

Welcome to the 2023 - 2024 school year! It is hard for me to believe that this school year marks the EdLeader podcast's fifth school year seeking to add value to the work and professional and personal lives of EdLeaders.Recently I was humbled when the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction selected the EdLeader podcast as a Promising Practice in the state and added it to their collection on the Promising Practices webpage.The EdLeader podcast community continues to grow worldwide because of your kind words and positive ratings on your favorite podcast player. Thank you for sharing it with your network of colleagues and friends.There is no question that our ability to successfully help students achieve their potential depends in large part on our ability to recognize and meet the social, emotional, and mental health needs of our students and staff. Equipping ourselves and equipping our teammates for this work is crucial as we prepare for a new school year, a year I believe will be our finest ever.To launch this school year on EdLeader, I thought it would be appropriate to spend time with an equipper of educators and students. Today's guest brings a unique background and rich tapestry of experience to this work.With over 20 years of education and mental health leadership experience, she has the unique lens of both a certified teacher and a licensed clinical therapist specializing in trauma.After 18 years as a successful high school teacher, she stepped out of the classroom to serve as a social worker and licensed clinician. Her classroom experience coupled with her clinical work with children and families in crisis gives her incredible insight into solving youth mental health problems present in our schools.She has earned both a Master's Degree in Education and a Master's Degree in Social Work.She is also the co-author of the book, “Improving School Mental Health: The Thriving School Community Solution,” a global keynote speaker delivering powerful messages of hope to educators, and is the host of the Thriving School Community podcast.I hope that you enjoy our time together with Ms. Peck. Her simple, yet powerful solutions for making a difference resonate with me, especially when she encourages us to not say to someone that they “should” do something and instead remind them that they “could” do something. I am convinced that turning “should” into “could” would absolutely make a difference in our interactions. As a new school year arrives, please allow me to thank you for all that you do for every student, every teacher, and every staff member. You are making a difference. If no one else has told you, I want you to know that I believe in you.Dr. Rob Jackson on TwitterEdLeader Podcast on TwitterCharle Peck on Twitter

An Ohio school recently reorganized their entire academic program around teen mental health support. The move has garnered praise from many, but are schools the best place for us to look to for mental health support? Dr. Kathy considers. 

This episode is all about improving school mental health. My guest today is Charle Peck! Charle is the cofounder of a revolutionary behavioral health program where she's partnering with school districts to improve the well being of both staff and students. She has 20 years of education and mental health leadership experience.

There are kids sitting in our classrooms struggling with something and we will never know about it.2. As human beings we have to learn to step outside of ourselves and look out for the other person. 3. Learn to understand that we have internal and external influences all the time. 4. Know who you are in this moment and be ok with that. 5. When we are stuck in guilt, pain, and shame it takes a toll on us.6. Understand that what I've done doesn't mean that's who I am and I can move on.7. We have to get out of the wheel of self defeat8. Listen the messages that you are sending yourself.9. When you notice you're saying to yourself  “should”, reframe it and say “could”. 10. Ask yourself is this helpful or hurtful and if it's hurtful how do I get out of it.11.

Alloy skills is about stepping outside ourselves and think about how we show up for others people.16. We are going to make assumptions, we have to catch ourselves when we do that. We all have implicit bias. 17. Be CURIOUS - Ask “What am I missing?” This humanizes that student or colleague. 18. When we mislabel kids, we misguide them. 19. What is going on with this student? What has happened to them? 20. When you ask questions and are curious it allows space for you to forgive others. 21. Hope is incredible powerful. 22. Be that person that believes in others. 23. Lean on people that are looking out for you. 24. Collaborative Resolution - Ask what you need and what I need and how can we make that happen. 25. Lead student in figuring out what they need. 26.

Ally Donnelly   Hi and welcome to the Hingham ‘Cast. I'm your host Ally Donnelly. This episode is brought to you by Derby Street Shops.  The Hingham ‘Cast is hyper local, we look at the world through the lens of one small town. My town here on Boston's, South Shore, but the issues we explore are unfolding in communities across the country. Like Back to School. It's an exciting time of hope and promise, but for some kids it can also be a time riddled with anxiety. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 5 kids aged 6 to 17 experience a mental disorder in a given year. Some experts, including our guest today, say it may now be as high as one in four.  With an estimated $247 billion dollars spent each year to manage and treat those issues. As we start another school year in a pandemic that just won't quit. I wanted to learn what we can do as families, as a community to meet kids where they're at and help as best we can. My guest today is Dr. Khadijah Booth Watkins. She's a child psychiatrist and Associate Director for the Clay Center for Young and Healthy minds at Mass General Hospital. She specializes in anxiety disorders, ADHD, and overall student mental health and suicide prevention. Dr. Booth Watkins, thank you so much for joining us. Dr. Khadijah Booth Watkins/MGH Clay Center  Thank you for having me. I'm excited to talk with you today about our kids and what's going on with them.  Ally Donnelly  Yeah, so much. Right? Give us a sense of the state of child mental health right now. Dr. Khadijah Booth Watkins/MGH Clay Center  Our kids are facing a mental health crisis, there has been alarms rang by the Academy of Pediatrics and of child and adolescent psychiatrists and children's hospitals. And then shortly thereafter, the Surgeon General also put out this morning saying that we're in the middle of a mental health crisis for our for our children and adolescents. They are really struggling with we're seeing an increase in depression and anxiety, suicidal thinking, loneliness. And the even scarier part is that much of this started well before the COVID-19 global pandemic. Ally Donnelly   Yeah, yeah. You know, there's data all over the place, right. But one, data point from the CDC said 44% of high school students said they experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness with girls and the LGBTQ plus community reporting the highest levels of poor mental health and suicide attempts. You know, as kids think about going back to school on top of what they've already experienced, you know, from the pandemic, from pre pandemic, think about bullying, peer pressure, school violence, fears, relationship building anxiety, you know, what's going on for kids as they think about heading back. Dr. Khadijah Booth Watkins/MGH Clay Center   So they are, they probably have a lot of thoughts going on. And many kids are excited to go back and they're looking forward to going back and then their kids who are dreading going back their kids who actually never liked school. So there are some kids who are more vulnerable. They they struggled with attending school for various reasons, whether it's learning issues, whether it's anxiety, whether it's social, social challenges, but they're worried about, you know, how they're going to perform, are they going to be accepted? Are people going to like them? Are they going to be able to make friends depending on whether your kid is going from a major transition from elementary to middle or middle to high school or even from high school to college, really just finding their place and and making sure that they feel secure and welcomed. They're worried about those things. And they're still many kids still worried about being healthy and staying healthy and possibly bringing back something to their, to their home. Maybe they have a vulnerable parent or living with a vulnerable grandparent. So there's, there's tons of things

To understand how mental health services in schools became the latest partisan flashpoint, we go back to the 1950's. That's when a movement of conservative women took on the emerging field of mental health as part of their larger crusade against the spread of communism. In the 50's and 60's, these activists waged fierce battles to resist the menace of the mental health profession and “progressive education,” any effort to influence the thinking of American school children.
