by [PRP Group](https://www.prp.group/client-family-news-and-announcements/author/prp-group), on 02/2/2024

![lasvegassun](https://www.prp.group/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/lasvegassun.jpg?width=150&height=150&name=lasvegassun.jpg)Parenting is tough these days.

Research reveals the critical role that school support plays in improving students’ mental health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that students who experience “school connectedness” (a sense of being cared for, supported and belonging at school) are less likely to experience feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Several surveys show that 80% of students and parents rely on mental health resources from their school.
