It’s normal to be concerned about the children in your life when a traumatic or violent event occurs. What are signs and symptoms that children may show after a stressful event & how can you support them? Our clinical director @ArianaHoet has advice. bit.ly/3yYfbSz
This afternoon our team had the opportunity to speak with @SecondGentleman, @HHS_ASH and @HRSAGov about how the COVID-19 pandemic and current world events have negatively impacted kids’ mental health. They also discussed the continued importance of support for frontline workers.

I cringe when i read formal words in copy😂 Swapping them out almost immediately makes you a better writer. A couple suggestions: utlize → use obtain/receive → get additionally → and provides → gives currently → right now ensure → make sure Any you'd add?

We need a president who believes in science. This endorsement may be unprecedented, but the choice couldn't be more clear.
Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now. The 2020 election is literally a matter of life and death. We urge you to vote for health, science and Joe Biden for President. scientificamerican.com/artic…

OHIOANS: state officials meet Monday to decide whether to pre-pay for the return postage on our absentee ballots. They absolutely should - it's the most straightforward, nonpartisan way to ensure every Ohioan's vote is counted this November. RT if you agree.
