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!

Yes, we need you Marianne! It is more horrendous than most people think! I have a student that no facility will take up and down the east coast out to Missouri because she is a liability! What? She has been the most stable with us at our school but she still tries to hurt herself
