student loneliness epidemic

Our district is battling a loneliness epidemic


Every conversation that takes place between a student and a teacher has meaning, and it helps us battle student isolation

Whether talking in-person or virtually, even small conversations play an important role in creating the connections students need. But it can be challenging to carve out time in our busy schedules to focus on building these relationships.

As educators, we must make the time to ensure that every student feels seen and heard. All of us need a support system, and this is especially important for students in their teenage years. Yet, many felt alone over the past couple of years because of pandemic-induced isolation. That isn't OK, and studies have already shown the traumatic impact the loneliness epidemic is having on students across the country.
