Does your school do a good job of addressing the mental health needs of girls and gender-expansive youth of color? Why or why not?
My school tried, but anyone who had dire and/or unique mental health needs was often out of luck. However, someone like me who already had coping mechanisms and just needed extra support benefitted greatly with the resources provided.

No, there is a severe lack of mental health resources. My school does not take into consideration, the mental health problems girls and gender-expansive youth of color face. I was turned away from an appointment and told I had to wait over 6 months to talk to a therapist at my university.
