Her students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida, where months earlier 17 people were shot and killed in a massacre, weren’t bouncing back. She could see them withdrawing, failing classes, acting out, but she didn't have the resources to help them.

Thank the lord you’re not a Veteran mental health is a bottle of Duloxetene. Talk and no one listens 30 days, call get a recording. An endless run around. I locked it inside. The only way I can live. My heart goes out to you I hope better for you 💜
