“After the whole Tide Pod challenge, I knew this generation was doomed. Nothing good can come from being raised on a steady dose of The Facebook and YouTube.” This comment was made by an attending physician from an older generation after passing a waiting room full of adolescents with their heads buried in their devices. This statement expresses frustrations encountered amongst colleagues regarding young patients and their struggles to communicate verbally.

As former public school teachers now in child psychiatry training and practice, we continue to be struck by the disconnect between the K-12 education system and psychiatric care. As teachers, we often felt unsupported by the medical community, and now as physicians we struggle to negotiate appropriate roles as collaborators with schools. Constraints on funding, time, and privacy often limit the expansion of mental health competency training for teachers and clinical services in schools. Under-resourced communities are particularly vulnerable to these barriers to mental health care. As local experts, psychiatrists can partner with schools to improve teacher competence and strengthen referral networks.
