Teachers are often the first to notice when students are struggling emotionally, but their own burnout and responsibilities limit how much support they can provide. As a result, counselors and psychologists face increased referrals while students may be missing daily guidance in the classroom.(1/4)

Pediatricians are often the first place to go for mental health concerns, yet appointments are often too short for deep emotional screening. Pediatricians also may not have the resources and training to directly address concerns. Many adolescents go home without the support they need. (1/4)
