In this episode of Parenting the Mental Health Generation, we get an inside look at how one local district is stepping up, especially after community-wide trauma.  Jennifer Ginopolis, the Director of Recovery for Township High School District 113, which represents Highland Park and Deerfield High Schools, talks about the deliberate steps they are taking following the July 4th shooting  and reminds us about the connection between mental health and academic performance.SHOW NOTES:Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain   Zaretta Hammond Marc BrackettScott PolandWhat Happened To You?
