It’s never been more important for schools to be proactive in addressing the health and wellness of the school community. Are you prepared?

One in Six

children in the United States has a mental disorder

+93.6%

anxiety in teens since 2019

+62.7%

substance abuse disorders in teens since 2019

+56%

suicides among people ages 10 to 24 over the past two decades

1.8 million

additional therapists needed to effectively treat serious mental illness and substance disorders

Mental and physical health, wellness, and substance abuse prevention were already of the utmost importance for schools to address. But since the pandemic began, The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the Children’s Hospital Association declared that the pandemic-related decline in child and adolescent mental health has become a national emergency.

According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide attempts have jumped 31% since 2020, and 13% of Americans reported starting or increasing substance use to cope with stress or emotions related to COVID-19. 

At some point, the pandemic will end, but the mental and physical wellbeing of our students and faculty will remain of critical importance. If you want to take a more proactive approach right now, but feel like there isn’t enough time, resources, or community support to properly address these important issues, we don’t blame you, and you are certainly not alone. The good news is, we understand your challenges and frustrations, and we can help! If you are experiencing any of the following, you’ve come to the right place:

N

There’s not enough adequate time to address health and wellness in meaningful ways

N

Everyone is burned out, especially your faculty

N

Your faculty needs better ways to identify mental health and substance abuse “red flags”

N

Faculty and students do not want to be a part of difficult health, wellness, and substance abuse conversations 

N

You are not getting the needed support in your position

N

You need a clearer way to get access to accurate and factual information

N

You want better ways to take stress and anxiety off students, faculty, and parents

When you join us, you’ll have a team of doctors and subject matter experts to help you address and overcome these challenges. You’ll receive implementable strategies the minute you access your members portal.

I wanted to pass along my thanks to the Pandemic Briefing team. At the height of the pandemic there was so much uncertainty, and the weekly webinar was one of the few things I could count on. The doctors provided clear and expert advice every single week, and I loved their sense of humor. Many thanks to the team for bringing factual and pertinent information to school admin teams across the nation. Truly grateful for these trusted voices during a time filled with so much noise.
