Exposure to violence in school has all sorts of negative academic, social, and behavioral ramifications for students. Promoting school connectedness and trust can interrupt that cycle. #schoolsafety @HsingFangHsieh @umich_scott @SAStoddardPhD @UmMarcz

"It’s important to think about prevention: how educators, parents and children can help to create a supportive school climate so children don’t feel isolated or bullied..." Read the full article & more from @UmMarcz here:
“Send my child to school day after day and just cross my fingers?” a parent says. “That’s no way to live.”
With the government seemingly absent and a rise in school shootings, some parents feel like protecting their kids from guns has been left to them.

It can be challenging for educators & school staff to positively engage parents. Our 6/22 webinar will address how schools can foster family involvement & engagement to increase student feelings of belonging & academic success. Register now: ow.ly/3Np850JtBAq #schoolsafety

A U-M national survey found that a majority of American adults over the age of 50, including the 37% of older adults who own guns or live with someone who does, supports specific steps that could reduce the risk of firearm injury and death. myumi.ch/J8wbw
ALT “Just as health care providers and health policymakers have worked to address other preventable causes of injury and death, we hope these findings will inform the effort to reduce the toll of firearm injuries among older adults, while respecting firearm ownership rights."
