Return to School Resources from the Child Mind^® Institute

For millions of families, this fall is not only back-to-school time but back-to-work time too. Students are expected to be in the classroom full-time, and many parents who’ve been working remotely will be returning to the office at least part-time. It’s good news for students whose schooling has been disrupted — undermining both mental health and learning — but it’s going to mean new routines, busier schedules, and new stresses. And the Delta variant is keeping safety a continuing concern.

This week on childmind.org we talk to experts about how to support younger children during the transition – how to deal with anxiety, behavior problems, and pressure to catch up on learning. We address challenges teenagers may have reconnecting with school, getting active again, and handling all that face-to-face interaction. And we talk to learning experts about making decisions and the best ways to handle concerns about academic setbacks during the pandemic.

There are 51 million children and 6 million staff in the nation’s nearly 100,000 public schools. The conditions of these buildings have a direct impact on children’s health, thinking, and learning, and on the health of all staff.

Routine immunizations have been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Join the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) during National Immunization Awareness Month for an interactive discussion on strategies to increase immunization rates. The NFID Keep Up The Rates campaign presents an opportunity to mobilize the healthcare community around the importance of students receiving recommended routine vaccinations.
