According to the CDC, more than 800,000 high school students skip school at least once per month due to fear for their safety. And almost 200,000 teens miss school each day due to bullying. From fear of bullying and school shootings to facing mental health and behavioral issues, many students are feeling uneasy when it comes to school. What issues are students experiencing in school, and how can we support them? How can we help students feel more connected to their school and peers? And how can we help students feel safe at school? In this episode, Kristi Krings joins Kevin to discuss how we can help students feel safe at school.
