Peter,

At this point in the pandemic, American teens have spent a significant chunk of their formative years isolated from friends and in fractured learning environments.

Now, more than 2 in 5 teens have reported persistently feeling sad or hopeless, according to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey of high school students. And within the first couple of months of the pandemic, 1 in 5 teens had seriously considered attempting suicide. These numbers are incredibly alarming and we need solutions to lower this number.

If we can implement mental health resources in schools, we’d be able to directly assist students facing mental health issues. Well-being checks, mental health education, and teacher training has the potential to help millions of teens and even save lives.

Yet, most states haven’t done enough, leaving millions of teens without help.

Together, we can create the change we need to uplift teens’ mental health. Will you join us in taking action to expand mental health programs in schools?

This is why it’s so important for schools all over the country to have the mental health resources children need to thrive. School mental health services have the ability to support millions of teens’ mental health in a time when life can be uncertain.

The solution is in front of us, Peter. Will you join us in taking action to demand change nationwide and finally increase mental health resources in schools?
