This is A Trusted Space PSA

We know the last few years have been difficult for educators and students alike. And, right now our communities need positive, evidenced-informed, easily accessible mental health and wellness resources to help our children. All It Takes wants to make everyone aware of how to obtain access to powerful and practical resources – films & curriculum, to help build trusted spaces in their schools and communities - for free.

To get the word out to all everyone across the USA, All It Takes has launched a new public service announcement (PSA) campaign with three primary goals:

Inform the general public that schools are dedicated to supporting student well-being. 

 

1. To recognize and appreciate the influence and impact of custodians, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, and others have on our students in the education ecosystem. We are all in this together. 

2. A call to action/reminder for those who work in education that they are a vital part of the solution to the mental health epidemic our students are facing in the wake of the all that has happened in the last few years.  

3. This PSA campaign will serve as a reminder for every person in the education ecosystem to embrace their powerful role in fostering healing and resilience in our youth who are struggling with mental health and behavioral challenges at increasing rates. 

​

Every school employee, whether a bus driver, teacher, or principal, has the opportunity to create “A Trusted Space” by establishing trust and building authentic, positive relationships with students. Scientific research is clear and united: trusted relationships are the number one antidote to emotional stressors and trauma. Across education, teachers and administrators are given this message, but there are so many others who influence our kids every day, and it’s time to bring them into the conversation. Students heal and thrive in environments where they can trust that when they turn to an adult in their school – whether a teacher, an administrator, a yard supervisor, or their counselor – they have the skill and mindset to model and guide young people towards positive, compassionate solutions.

The mental wellness of our youth is vital for them to be resilient through difficult times.
