  • Jordan explains her teenage mental health journey. She found a lack of support in her school and well beyond it. Teens like Jordan are all around us, silently longing for help, help seldom found where they spend the most time; at school. The system will be fixed by realization, awareness, and resources. Jordan explores approaches to connecting with and easing the suffering of teens struggling with mental health issues.

    i love Jordan and her passion. I used this video in a lesson plan i had to write for one of my college education classes on mental health within students. her points are short and brief yet so compelling. my heart goes out to her and all the hard work and research she has done. truly a superhero.

    This is the perfect time to change the school system to the 21st century and prepare students for reality of today's world(finance, mental health, Job skills, how to survive a recession, how to develop career and overcome hardships/failures. The system boomers created is outdated.

    Make it voluntary in stead of forcing it on people through teacher referrals, you can't really help people who don't want your help and it would free up space for people that do solving the "shortage" of school counselors.

    Jordan, schools do not need doctors that's why you have hospitals. You ask for mental health assistance in the school for serious diseases. I'm not going to expect my teacher to help me with my diabetes or a laceration that requires stitches. Understand what you're asking for. I'm all for a mental health first aid like your ZONES. I think that's a brilliant idea. But you can't expect anything more than very basic first aid from the teachers.
    Second, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that your generation is going to have to deal with the humiliation of being numbered like you describe because of the extreme activism of mine. This is what happens when you try really hard to push your activism but have no grounding in reality. You have these terrible ideas that "mean well" and only after you forcefully impose them and watch the unintended suffering do you stop and ask why? I say this because you are the future. Think your ideas out. Make concrete plans. Don't advocate for nonsense like having doctors walking the halls of every school and then suddenly realize that there is no budget for anything else. The real world is complicated and full of unintended consequences. It's not good enough to "mean well". As you so rightfully point out with being unable to put your name on your work.
    Keep up the good work Jordan. But grow. Learn from the nonsense and become wiser. I have faith in your generation to tell to good from the bad in mine. To not be sold snake oil because they've seen it doesn't work.

      Crazy Blaine i don’t think she was advocating for doctors in schools. the types of strategies and interventions she mentioned seem to be easy for teachers to implement (or as easy as they can be, seeing how much teachers are constantly juggling). at most, it sounds like she would like more school counselors or psychologists, which is a complicated ask but certainly not outlandish
      also, think of the cost/benefit of changes like jordan talked about. yes, implementing specific mental health interventions would take time and money and training, but if it results in higher grades and achievement, higher graduation rates, better rates of quality employment, wouldn’t it be worth it in the end?
      the way we teach our kids is the way we want our world to be 20 years down the line. i don’t know about you, but i’d like to see people unafraid to seek help for treatable mental illnesses, so i’m all for encouraging that in schools

      this whole thing is where you are 100% wrong. with more mental health intervention in schools the less emergency hospital visits there needs to be for students in crisis. sometimes it is important to use your heart more than your brain when forming opinions.

      @@oliviabakowski5027 no literally thank you for saying this I’m a senior in highschool and I’m an advocate for mental health classes that have to be taken by kids. It’s needed and it will 100% help in the long run and even change the way society views other people and maybe get some peace in this world.
