Our schools are experiencing a mental health crisis. According to the 2022 Minnesota Student Survey, 45%, of 11th grade girls reported long-term mental health, behavioral or emotional problems - up from 35% in 2019 and 16% in 2013. Reports of 11th graders having seriously considered suicide at some point in their life jumped to 28% Experts say that kids struggling with mental health are not only unable to learn, they’re often unable to ask for the help they need. Join us and our experienced panel as we discuss this issue and what actions could and should be taken to address it. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, community member or future employer of these young people, this promises to be a compelling event.
