North Carolina schools are scrambling as crucial mental health funding is suddenly cut, leaving thousands of students without needed support. Programs that had shown real results—like a 50% drop in suicide risk and shorter wait times for help—are now on the chopping block. With only one social worker for every 995 students (when the recommended is 1:250), this loss hits hard. The confusion over why some grants were canceled, and not others, is fueling frustration among educators and parents. How do you think schools should fill this gap, and what’s at stake for our kids if they can’t? #Education #MentalHealthMatters #NorthCarolina
