The crisis in student mental health, particularly in middle and high schools, is causing school districts to expand the ways they identify struggling students and provide services that support their physical and emotional health.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (PRWEB)
October 20, 2020

According to the NEA, at least 10 million students ages 13–18 were suffering from depression, anxiety, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or bipolar disorder before the crisis of the pandemic. Now, with the social isolation and increased stress caused by the novel coronavirus, schools and districts are facing even more extensive student mental health needs. To help educators understand and respond to this deepening crisis, Gaggle has published a new white paper titled “Addressing the Crisis in Student Mental Health: How Districts Can Identify and Support Struggling Students.”

The white paper reveals some of the research citing the rise of anxiety and depression among teens as well as causes of the “mental health tsunami” among teens and young adults. “There is real urgency for early treatment of mental health disorders,” said Gaggle CEO and founder, Jeff Patterson. “Suicide is now the second-leading cause of death among 10- to 19-year-olds in the United States. The Center for Suicide Prevention and Research reports that one in six teens has seriously considered suicide in the past year.”

To help teachers and administrators develop more comprehensive services to support students’ physical and mental health, the white paper shares solutions such as additional student services, more professional help, schoolwide interventions, social and emotional learning, and communitywide conversations. Additionally, the paper discusses how districts use Gaggle’s safety management solution as part of their physical and emotional safety initiatives. It shares four case studies highlighting different ways of accomplishing this goal. The white paper also mentions the new Gaggle Therapy service, which matches students who need mental health support with counselors licensed in their state for weekly teletherapy sessions.

“The crisis in student mental health, particularly in middle and high schools, is causing school districts to expand the ways they identify struggling students and provide services that support their physical and emotional health,” said Patterson. “The Center for Health and Healthcare in Schools reports that students who receive interventions usually do quite well and show greater resilience and emotional functioning. In this day and age, it’s not just about academic achievement anymore.”

For a free copy of the white paper, visit https://news.gaggle.net/student-mental-health-report-2020.

About Gaggle | http://www.gaggle.net

Since 1999, Gaggle has been the leader in helping K-12 districts manage student safety on school-provided technology. Using a powerful combination of artificial intelligence and trained safety experts, the safety solution proactively assists districts 24/7/365 in the prevention of student suicide, bullying, inappropriate behaviors, school violence, and other harmful situations. Most importantly, Gaggle continues to help hundreds of districts avoid tragedies and save lives, while also protecting their liability. During the 2019–20 academic year, Gaggle helped districts save the lives of 927 students who were planning or actually attempting suicide.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
October 16, 2020

Strategic Financial Solutions, a leading financial services firm that provides debt relief solutions for people in challenging financial situations, created the campaign “#StratWalksAMile” to raise money and awareness during National Suicide Prevention Month. Strategic raised over $2200 for The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

“There are a heartbreaking number of suicides in the United States each day,” said Kimberly Celic, Chief People Officer at Strategic Financial Solutions. “It’s important that we continue to have conversations about mental health, how we can help each other, and the different resources that are available nationwide. Although September was National Suicide Prevention Month, we are committed to helping our employee-owners who are struggling with mental health issues whenever they need it.”

Beginning on September 8th and continuing through September 21st, Strategic encouraged its employee-owners to help raise awareness for suicide prevention by walking a mile. For each employee that walked or ran a mile, Strategic donated $10 to The AFSP. Over 200 employee-owners participated in the event, highlighting their commitment to the cause.

“I cannot express how much it means to me to have my Strategic Family involved in such an important cause,” said Melanie Lehner, Quality Assurance Specialist at Strategic Financial Solutions. “Through this challenge, I hope that anyone who is struggling realizes that there are people who are there for them and support them. No matter what the issues that my Strategic Family is facing, I hope everyone takes this as an important reminder that the world is a better place with them in it.”

Established in 1987, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is a health organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education, and advocacy. Strategic’s donation will help fund scientific research, educate the public about mental health and suicide prevention, advocate for public policies in mental health, and support survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide.

“On behalf of the Western NY Chapter of AFSP, we are humbled and thrilled to have the support of the Strategic Family through September’s “#StratWalksaMile” campaign,” said Missy Stolfi, Area Director for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. “We need more companies like this to stand up and say that mental health is a priority, in order to change our culture and reduce stigma. The funds raised through this collective employee effort helps us continue offering to community members free prevention education programs, materials, loss and healing support, and engage in advocacy efforts at the state and federal levels. It sustains our groundbreaking suicide prevention research and moves us closer to our bold goal of reducing the national suicide rate by 20% by the year 2025.”
