    Dear Association Executives - Today, Mental Health First Aid released new data from a national survey of school board members that found youth mental health is the most pressing issue facing schools and students.

    Student mental health was the No. 1 concern for school board members: 86% reported being either "extremely concerned" (56%) or "very concerned" (30%), a higher level of extreme concern than was expressed for school funding (51%), staffing challenges (48%) and school safety (46%).




    The press release can be viewed here. The full survey findings are attached and here.

    Chuck's LinkedIn post is here (feel free to like and share) and we have published on the BH365 blog here.
