SEL in schools
Is mental health care.
It is Social and Emotional learning.
Conservatives have made this the new boogie man....while at the same time calling for "better mental health care" to stop mass shootings....while also, at the very same time failing to fix the affordability of healthcare (and subsequently mental health care) in this country.
School counseling is NOT Rreplacement for outside mental health therapy. SEL starts in elementary school.
Do you see the problem now?
* Don't teach my kid about how to interact with others socially or how to deal with their emotions
But also...
*We need better mental health care...guns are not the issue..
But also
* we can't have universal healthcare and include mental health, vision or dental...
And also
* we cant talk about any of the issues kids face in school...not their identity, the indentity of their family..or any thing of that nature...and we definitely cant support them with this if their parents do not support their identity...
