Elementary students on suicide watch. Public schools with "trauma rooms." Teachers having to deal with students who have overwhelming behavioral problems on a daily basis. Millions of children with severe PTSD just from living in their neighborhoods. America, we have a problem.

Millions of children live with chronic trauma, and we should rescue them no differently than if they were victims of a natural disaster. Their despair has been normalized by the political establishment. but not by me. We need a massive realignment of investment in America's kids.

We need trauma-informed education, community wrap-around services, anti-bullying, mental health services, mindfulness in schools. Every school should be a palace of learning, culture and the arts. The best way to serve America's future is by better serving our children today.

We need a US Department of Children and Youth in order to coordinate the efforts needed to provide adequate responses to the unbelievable vulnerabilities & challenges of our kids today. America has the professionals who know what to do to solve all this. I will put them to work!

Children cannot learn to concentrate if they are exposed to parents that cannot concentrate. Children cannot attain equanimity as long as members of our society are driven by pure compulsion. Adults are liable. The problem is now a broad cultural disfunction. It’s dangerous

Yes, Marianne, we do have a problem in our schools. Remember, every time there is a violent act in our schools, almost all of our children are affected. This connection between trauma and school performance is vital.

I see @marwilliamson as the placeholder for truth America looks for. She is the protector and the peace builder, much like a parent America hasn’t had. Let’s face it—if your not in the top 1%, your underserved. Be part of the solution with #Marianne2020 🌞

Before I retired, we saw an increase in trauma & suicide. One of my former students called his mom be4 he shot himself. 💔 Middle school counselor said 6 students came 2 her after that 2 talk about thoughts of suicide.She knew 9 students on antidepressants-that’s NOT the answer!

America, we have a big problem! I am a teacher and I teach traumatized youth! Suicide, drug addiction, self- harm, ( cutting) etc. these students then get sent to hospitals ( Psych hospitals) that “stabilize” them and throw them back on the street within days. This can’t go on!
