“All students will be experiencing heightened stress returning to school this fall, and success coaches can provide the extra support they will need,” said Turnaround for Children’s Founder and Senior Science Advisor Pam Cantor. “Today, the stress and trauma that children are witnessing and feeling is all around us—on our city streets, in our homes, on TV and social media 24/7,” she said. “The COVID-19 pandemic is happening to all of us, but it has hit vulnerable communities the hardest with much higher rates of serious illness and death.”

The press release was also republished in Yahoo! Finance and Business Insider.
