improve mental wellness

Have group meditation first thing as a school or as a small program.
Have students screened for depression in all grades including middle school.
District can buy Panorama to track mental health trends in our school.
I currently use an online google survey form to have my students fill out three times a week when I don't see them so I can determine how they are doing mentally. If they are elevated I check in with them. I also introduced the gender support plan to the school I work at to increase the comfort level of students who are transitioning in school.

Hi Asher:

Thanks for joining our conversation and sharing your classroom-based approach.

What do you think would need to happen to roll out a program like yours across the school, district and even the state? What training would your fellow teachers need? What additional resources would be required at the district or state level?

Are there other things you think should be done to support teachers as well as students?
