New school year means new mental health policy

Peter,

Summer is officially coming to an end, and across the country, children are starting to head back to school.

As children return to school, we want to ensure that they get the mental health support that they need. Especially since so many children are experiencing new levels of anxiety and depression.

We had a youth mental health crisis before the pandemic. Now, it is more urgent than ever. A recent survey from the Annie E. Casey Foundation found that the number of children ages 3-17 struggling with anxiety and depression went from just under 6 million in 2016 to 7.3 million in 2020. And most don’t get the support they need to manage their mental health.

With your help, we can do something about it.

Peter, the number of children and teens whose lives are at risk will continue to increase if concrete solutions aren’t implemented nationwide. Will you take the pledge to say you’re with us in the fight to expand mental health resources in schools across America?

TAKE OUR PLEDGE
We need stronger state support for children’s mental health now. If children are able to receive mental health support in school, we can realize a future where no child struggles needlessly.

That’s why we have been advocating to increase mental health resources in schools in every state. From policy research, meeting with legislators, and getting legislation passed, Inseparable will do what it takes to resolve this crisis.

But we need your help in our fight to expand mental health resources in schools to finally help all children. Will you take a moment and join our movement to demand change?

SIGN THE PLEDGE
Thank you for signing,

Team Inseparable
