Title: Anxious, Angry, and Alone: Inside the Youth Mental Health Crisis”

What does freedom mean if our children are struggling to cope?

On this episode of Rethinking Freedom, we confront the student mental health crisis and the role of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in public schools. Host Aya Fubara Eneli is joined by Shannon Lumar, Counseling Director of Mental Health and Wellness in public education, with over 27 years of experience supporting students, families, and educators.

This conversation cuts through the noise to examine trauma, resilience, and what schools, parents, and communities must do to help children truly thrive.
