[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are always very long waitlists for in patient psyche treatment. Always.  Attributing that to APS distance learning is a misleading leap. But that is consistent with the way open schools now advocates employ data. [/quote]

It is insincere and scammy. [/quote]

Peds ER here. We usually can find a temp bed for kids in normal times until one opens up nearby. We are now sending kids about 600 miles away before we find a spot. The bigger issue though is setting kids up with a provider after presenting in crisis. That is almost impossible to find in a timely manner even where the family has the means to pay. Much younger patients are presenting with suicidal ideation than I’ve ever seen. [/quote]

Whatever “ped er”. Increase in child mental health problems could be from parents sick with COVID, economic stresses from job loss, parents fighting over appropriate Covid protocols, and ok and on.  Going back to school fixes little of that.  Kids aren’t curfewed, parents who are comfortable can have their kids meet up with other kids; parents who aren’t won’t send their kids to school. Correlation is not causation, if the increase in ped mental health is even real. [/quote]

This.  Absent the pandemic, one could say DL is responsible for the rise in mental health issues, but WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC.  Stress is up everywhere.  Many families have been affected by, or know someone affected by, this virus.  School isn't going to fix that.  [/quote]
