Children all around the world are struggling with their mental health due to the recent events occurring over the past few years. 1 in 7 children have a mental disability/condition, and nearly 87 percent of Americans are concerned about children's mental health. It is our purpose as a society and future educators to act now, and be the support children need.

If we do not act now there could be greater consequence's. Children have had to face so many things that past generations could not fathom. From pandemics to wars between countries. This directly impacts children's mental health in both the academic setting and social setting. Students are scared because they do not know what will happen next. As a society we need to be aware of this growing epidemic, and know that just because we do not visably see a problem it does not mean one is not present

I am going to be a teacher, the mental health and well being of my students will impact me directly. Due to students poor mental health and the stress surrounding it they are not motivated to want to learn. The pandemic brought this fear along with it causing children to not want to step out of their comfort zones. It is crucial in life to make mistakes and step out our comfort zones, because it we don't we never learn. I want to make sure that I am making a positive impact in my future classroom. Allowing my students to feel that excitement and motivation instead of the dread that plagues them now.

There are a multitude of ways to aid in the betterment of children's mental health on both the small and large scale. Some small scale ways to help could be tutoring a child at the local school or volunteering with the local Big Brother/Sister organization to help children in the foster care system. Large scale opportunities consist of donating and volunteering for organization like UNICEF. One of their main goals is to help children and families who have been affected by tragedies occurring around the world.
