Does this sound familiar?

You’re observing chronic absenteeism, decreasing graduation rates, frequent violence and conflict, low student engagement, rising depression and anxiety, and lack of connection and belonging…

…not to mention the staff turnover, frustration, disengagement, overwhelm, and burnout.

School districts like yours are overwhelmed and under-resourced to respond to one crisis after another.
