After calling gun violence "a mental health issue," the Administration is now canceling $1 billion in school mental health grants. Democrats and Republicans worked together to pass these resources to help stop school shootings. They must be restored. apnews.com/article/school-me…

🚨 *Takes deep breath* This isn’t just ‘the math isn’t mathing.’ This isn’t even math at all. The CDC’s Injury Center funds vital research and supports programs to prevent gun violence from harming kids and teens. Remember gun violence? The #1 killer of kids and teens in 🇺🇸? 🧵
DOGE moves to gut CDC work on gun injuries, sexual assault, opioid overdose data, and more. motherjones.com/politics/202…

"Stop asking why schools don't have bulletproof glass and metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools have to. That's the question that needs to be asked,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes

Tough day to be a psychologist in this country.
Tough day to be a scientist in this country.
Tough day to be a woman in this country.

Happy First Friday of #Pride Month! Friendly reminder "LGBTQ+ youth can best reach their full potential when they are accepted, respected, supported and valued as members of the school community." (NASP, 2017) How do you teach future #SchoolPsychs ways support #LGBTQ+ Youth?

On the one-year anniversary of the Uvalde shooting, we are lifting up some of the 300+ stories of gun violence that we submitted to the Senate from pediatricians across the country. They are still just as resonant and relevant. We will keep advocating to #EndGunViolence. (1/2)

While tomorrow is the one year mark of the Robb Elementary Massacre in Uvalde, today around 10 P.M. is the last time I saw Uzi, as I told him to go to bed, ruffled his hair and told him I loved him. I didn’t see him on the 24th as I left for work before the kids got up for school

Our thoughts are with all of those affected by gun violence, including the shooting that occurred today at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. But we know this is not enough by any measure.
We need stronger gun safety laws now. bit.ly/3FUmQUB

Once again we must share this resource as a result of tragedy.
Our hearts are with those affected by the violence in Nashville. Schools should be safe from gun violence. These resources can be used when preparing to talk with students. bit.ly/3nGXtMA
