Listen "Why are Schools so Quick to Suspend? | Episode 18 with Lauren and Jessica"
Episode Synopsis
Lauren and Jessica are here to break down the rising concerns about children's mental health and the impacts of school expulsions on young kids and their families. Together, we dive into the barriers children face in traditional educational settings, especially those struggling with behavioral issues or disabilities, and why our schools might not be doing enough to support them.
We discuss the challenges these students face within school systems that are stretched thin from limited resources, and the increasing focus on academic expectations over emotional support. By exploring both past and present tolerance levels for diverse learning needs, we reveal the disconnect between current school practices and effective mental health support, advocating for a better understanding of behavior rather than punitive action.
Join hosts Jessica Eisenstat, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and Dr. Lauren LaRose, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, as they dive into raw and real conversations about all things kids. These two moms, who also happen to be mental health professionals, bring humor, debate, and a hefty dose of mom realness to every episode. From tackling children’s mental health to the daily chaos of parenting, nothing is off-limits.
