For those who identify as 🌈lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning and intersex - WE’RE HERE FOR YOU! It’s important to recognize how human experiences of sexual orientation and gender identity relate directly to mental health. There is strong evidence from recent research that members of the LGBTQI community are at a higher risk of experiencing mental health conditions- especially anxiety and depression. We went live with @michaelzaiontzfiction to discuss 🌈🧠 Health.

Thank you so much @juliaaa24 for talking about mental health in the classroom with us. Julia spoke on the challenges that virtual teaching has caused, the important of understanding mental health warning signs in children, and most importantly how to be a champion for your students! 💫

Julia Bower is a Middle School Special Education teacher from Wayne, PA. She graduated from Saint Joseph's University with Bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education, with a Master's degree in Special Education. Her passion for mental health stems from a commitment to her students based on the Jesuit value, cura personalis, or "care of the whole person." Julia advocates for students' mental health because it directly affects their learning and their abilities. She believes that all children deserve a "champion," and her goal as an educator is to be that champion for her students.
