Opinion: Mental Health Care Could Curb School Violence
In a Capitol Weekly opinion piece, Robert Ross -- president and CEO of the California Endowment -- writes that the "national conversation" on school violence has been missing "one essential element: a physician's focus on prevention." He writes, "Every school should have the resources it needs to provide comprehensive health services, where nurses, counselors and other experts can diagnose problems, whether mental or physical, and get kids the help they need."
