With all the suicides I'm hearing about in young children, I'm seeing more and more need for therapy for children. It would be great for schools to start some type of mental health program or, at least, teach coping strategies. Especially in this day in age where social media could be making things worse.

I'm thinking high school or middle school, but my friend who is a guidance counselor thinks it should start younger and I agree. (She said she is in charge of her whole elementary school, which is 600 students).

I will try to limit social media to my LOs but I think coping strategies might be best. It might even be proactive if and when they are bullied at school or on social media. I think nowadays kids will find a way to create an account without my knowledge, if I were to tell they can't have one.

I do really wish there was less stigma against therapy.
