CTP (S3EJunSpecial6) Mental Health in Modern Schools
Exploring more of the world of fascinating Guests, Health, Human Nature, Music / Movies, Mysterious, Politics, Social Issues, and much more
Terry Brinston, CEO of the Nurturing Wellness Group Foundation, shares her insights about the critical shortage of school nurses and the mental health crisis facing students today. We explore how technology addiction, lack of moral foundations, and diminished community connections are creating unprecedented challenges for young people.
• Only about 35% of schools have dedicated nurses on staff
• Many medical responsibilities fall to untrained administrative staff
• Students today face more health issues than previous generations including asthma, diabetes, and allergies
• Phone addiction in schools is creating serious attention problems and social isolation
• The "my truth" perspective has eroded shared values and made it difficult to establish boundaries
• Young people struggle with resilience and giving up too easily when faced with challenges
• Small acts of kindness benefit both the giver and receiver's mental health
• Building community connections and practicing gratitude can help combat isolation
• Teaching young people to volunteer helps develop empathy and appreciation
