How Schools Shape Mental Health: A Therapist’s Perspective

The pandemic has been really tough on our kids... Surely the football player, the most popular kid in the school, he's going to be on the end line after these questions are asked, if you've ever experienced: fill in the blank.
Ever thought about how much impact schools have on children's mental health? In this episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', co-host Cortney wraps up her month-long discussion by diving into the education system's crucial role in shaping young minds. Starting from the roots of modern-day education, Cortney and host Chris Gazdik explore the ongoing challenges kids face today, especially those with special needs.
They don’t just stop at identifying problems; they also brainstorm practical solutions to help improve mental health support within schools. The pandemic has only highlighted the gaps in our education system, making it clear that mental health concerns in schools need urgent attention. Chris and Cortney discuss the heightened mental health impacts on children under 18 due to COVID-19 and stress the importance of breaking the stigma around mental health.
They also highlight the role of teachers and administrators in providing better access to mental health resources. Wrapping up, the hosts offer valuable tips for educators on handling students' mental health issues. Tune in for a deep dive into how we can make schools a supportive environment for every child's emotional growth.
