I am hoping that the powers that be recognize that our children need counselors & social workers in our schools to help our kids and support our teachers around trauma-informed care!
So true, Leslie. It has been such a tough year in Philadelphia with the school budget cuts and layoffs at the public schools - a loss some of that essential support structure, even while our city learning curve is rising. It will be great to hear from people in the schools on how we can all help.
