Hillary Clinton today called on mental health professionals to create a standardized curriculum to teach middle and high school students nationwide about anxiety and depression.
Mental health experts need to come forward with a curriculum to the boards of education and the administration of school districts and just lobby like crazy to get those into teacher training, into school programming, Clinton said.
She was a panelist at a discussion at the Paley Center for Media in Manhattan hosted by the Child Mind Institute, a city-based nonprofit focused on adolescent mental health issues.
In New York mental health education is already being put into action. In October 2016 Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law, the first of its kind nationwide, requiring it be included in the health curriculum. It will take effect next school year.
The de Blasio administration has also taken steps to address mental health in schools. Two years ago New York City committed to a four-year, $850 million plan to improve mental health services and expand access to treatment. One of the programs six principles is act early, with training provided to teachers to educate children in prekindergarten about coping skills when facing an emotional challenge. The city also said it would hire 100 mental health consultants to help connect students to services. During the 20162017 school year, the city opened 54 school-based clinics....

Bwah hah hah!!! Mrs. Rapist trying desperately to seem sigificant and relevant re mental health. Oh the irony!
Dear Mrs. Rapist: Even your own Rat party wants you to shut up and go away.
You are a malignant narcissist, you are full-blown delusional, and you have extreme anger management issues.
That would be political correctness — right? What a flee brained idea.
Why does a losing presidential candidate’s opinion on school curricula matter in the least? Why does this witch keep getting press? Someone trying to keep the mummy alive?
I agree on the hygiene...
Go crawl in your hole with your vodka and disappear you evil witch Hildabeast. No one gives a flying F*** what you think.
She just wants to drug the children.
>> This is an attempt to give children more weapons to use against their parents.
You nailed it.
Whenever the dems do something, there is always a hidden agenda.
It also wouldn’t surprise me if she somehow would profit from something like that. Maybe she has an investment in a company that has a curriculum, books, etc., ready to roll out.
My kids both took Latin in our public high school.
I thought that was cool. They said it helped.
> My kids both took Latin in our public high school.
Amazing that your district offers this!
You must live in an upscale district.
Any foreign language helps, and it’s best introduced before puberty.
When I was a kid, long ago and far away, our district introduced elective French in the fourth grade.
I took the option.
Latin and Greek were available in High School, as were French, Italian, and Spanish.
a) the Soviets pathologized political dissent and consigned their opponents to psychiatric "treatment"
b) the schools are run by Marxists (William Ayers acolytes)
oh wait.
She’ll get all the mental health help she needs—for free—in prison where she belongs!
It’s going to be tricky promoting mental health alongside promoting the psychosis of transsexualism and body dysmorphia, not least by a transsexual teacher.
What you said. :)
A good start would be boys will be boys, not girls.
So many jokes....
Hahaha! This from the poster child of mental illness.
I thought she was going to study to become a minister. She got derailed, I guess.
“”teach middle and high school students nationwide about anxiety and depression.””
Well, gee whiz, years ago her kind made the parents anxious and depressed when they insisted on teaching SEX EDUCATION to the poor uneducated! I think if these students are paying attention to the news AND HER, they already know about ANXIETY and DEPRESSION...
That’s very interesting and I’m sorry to hear that you do suffer from mental illness. I like “if you are healthy you just are not concerned about your happiness, you just are.” Very well put! Can’t help but wonder about Hillary - she certainly doesn’t appear well either mentally or physically. I’ve wondered why her family doesn’t seem to be concerned - they keep propping her up. Strange family!!!
