"If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that we have to take care of each other."

An excellent read, and a strong reminder that just because other issues are in the headlines right now, the challenges and stresses on educators have NOT abated.

As many parents are still worried about talking to kids about the events of last week, "pausing to work through your own feelings [first] is an important step."

Statement on Racism and the Need to Strengthen School-Family-Community Partnerships

Our Center condemns racism in all its forms. Too many people struggle with unrelenting trauma caused by racism, discrimination, and violence directed at individuals of color. Our grief and anxiety about these injustices are exacerbated by the detrimental and disproportionate impact the pandemic has had on the nation's school children through its disruption of learning and the undermining of health and well-being.

The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools stands firmly with those similarly committed to comabtting institutional and systemic racism, and who tirelessly champion a society where every child has an equal opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
