parents, students & families. It time to stop messy partisan politics and work together to help & to support the needs of our youth.
"CDC released the Youth Risk Behavior Survey Data Summary & Trends Report: 2011-2021...This data offers an important snapshot of adolescent health and well-being related to sexual behavior, substance use, experiences of violence, mental health, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This year’s report also includes data on students’ experiences of unstable housing, school connectedness, and parental monitoring to build on our understanding of young people’s environments and opportunities to improve them.
The data tell a distressing story about the health and well-being of our nation’s young people. Findings are especially stark among some groups of students." https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/dear_colleague/2023/DSRT-DCL.html
