Schools are increasing the focus on students’ mental health but run into challenges in online classrooms

Note: The CT Governor’s mask mandate expired on 2/28 and masking policies are now determined by local control.LiveGirl's priority is making sure our girls and mentors are safe and we follow local mask policies. Where the policy is mask optional, we are intentional about creating a safe space where girls feel comfortable exercising their decision on whether or not to wear a mask.
