Wrapping up summer research, but really just starting something. In a survey of 75 teachers across the US, 100% report that they experience the impact of secondary trauma, yet only 25% of them have healthy practices in place to navigate those impacts. Let's talk about that.

Another round of @MoStateCOE mental health first aiders through @MHFAMissouri are heading back into their student teaching placements today. I'm hopeful they are more equipped to face the challenges presented by mental health concerns in schools. ❤️
