        In our schools students struggle everyday with Social Emotional wellness and it is our jobs as teachers to make sure that we are keeping an open mind for our students well being. Not only should teachers just meet the academic and social expectations in our schools, they also need to incorporate mindfulness. Perhaps not only do students overall health needs to be addressed, but also our educators as well.                                     M. (2015, April 9). The Value of Mindfulness to Your Business .

Tom Ehnle a 7th grade teacher actually stated that he has sent out and suspended more students than he has ever done before because of how much the behavior is out of contr

               Perhaps many individuals do not realize how serious homelessness and poverty is in our world and how really how many students suffer from homelessness. A question people may ask is who exactly are homeless students? Homeless students are often defined as students who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, that is, students living in shared housing, hotels or motels, shelters, and unsheltered places (such as cars, parks, abandoned buildings) (Cai, 2021). In order for us prevent and help students that are going through poverty and homelessness we need to be able to identify students who may be living this lifestyle.                                                                                                               You can help end homelessness in 6 ways!

                          Mental health is such an important topic to be talked about. A mental illness is a condition that affects a person's thinking, feeling, behavior or mood. Individuals who suffer from mental health are severely impacted everyday in a negative way. Not only are they affected in a negative way but the people around them are also impacted by this. According to NAMI 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year, 1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year, 1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year and 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24. Mental health is definitely way more common than many people may think. It is important that individuals with mental health issues seek the right help for their specific condition.                                                                                                      Wikipedia contributors.
