Herbert,

At Stand With Parkland, we know that the most effective form of prevention starts long before a crisis emerges—it starts with support.

This is why we continue to champion efforts to protect students' mental health. When students are seen, supported, and connected to resources, the risk of self-harm or violence directed at others decreases dramatically. We are fighting to:

• Ensure mental health counseling is a core resource in every school.
• Fund training for staff to spot signs of distress and intervene early.
• Increase the number of dedicated school counselors and mental health professionals.

Funding this foundational work is crucial to our overall mission of promoting school safety and preventing firearm violence. A supportive school climate is the most powerful deterrent we have.

Please make a meaningful, year-end donation to strengthen the mental health support systems in our nation’s schools.

Thanks for hearing us out,

Stand With Parkland
