Dear friend,

Across the country, teachers are the first to spot signs that a student may be struggling. They notice the changes in behavior, the withdrawal, the quiet distress. Often they speak up when others don’t see it yet.

At Stand With Parkland, we know firsthand how critical early mental health screening is. And we know it often starts with a teacher who cares enough to ask, “Are you okay?”

This Teacher Appreciation Week, Stand With Parkland - The National Association of Families for Safe Schools is fighting for the tools and support structure teachers need to protect your kids, including better mental health screening, more school counselors, and real systems that respond when concerning behaviors are noticed.

We can’t do it without you.

Chip in today to honor the amazing work teachers do every day and help us build safer, stronger schools where every warning sign is taken seriously.

Our educators need more support, not more pressure to play this life-saving role. 

Let’s build that system together.

Stand with Parkland
