Alexis continues the conversation with school social workers Talia Akre and Anna McNeely. In part 2 of this conversation, they focus on resources for educators to use. One strategy they discuss is the creation of staff teams of support and action when faced with a student mental health and/or behavior issue. They stress that educators are not called on to do therapy but to connect students of all ages to mental health services. They also address what to say when a student brings strong feelings to you.
