Before students walked into his class in late August, the James Ward Elementary physical education teacher made it his mission to create a safe and comforting environment after an extended period of uncertainty.

 

The 74

Families, lawmakers, doctors and educators across the political spectrum are in agreement: The kids are not all right. Maryland, Colorado, California and New Jersey are among the states that have recently passed laws that expand access to youth mental health care. New protocols and resources are aimed at getting care to those who need it most — particularly youth experiencing abuse at home, uninsured and LGBTQ+ students.

 

Green Bay Press Gazette

Kou Chang knows the impact of seeing people — or not seeing people — who look like you while growing up.
