Public Comments for: HB495 - School boards; mental health awareness training, anonymous student reporting system.
Last Name: Sessou Locality: Fairfax

Students are more likely to seek help or share concerns when they feel safe and protected. An anonymous reporting system provides an additional, accessible way for students to speak up about mental health concerns for themselves or their peers without fear of stigma or retaliation. When paired with mental health awareness training, this approach helps schools respond earlier, more effectively, and with greater care. These tools can make a meaningful difference in identifying concerns and connecting students to support before situations escalate.
