Disclaimer: these are my own ideas; I am not an expert on this topic

• I like the idea of providers reaching out to students instead of students having to do that, but I worry that this may not prepare students for the real world where they may have to speak up (by themselves) if they need help. That said, I also understand that being encouraged by someone to get treatment can be a part of de-stigmatization and may encourage students to speak up in the future.

• Mental health screenings are great although some students may try to make themselves appear happier than they are

• Checking in with 1st/2nd gen. immigrant youth is good as they may face additional stressors due to adjusting to the U.S. U.S environment. Also, although we can't tell everyone to be an "expert" on different cultures, people should try to understand the fact that other cultures may have different beliefs, which can impact how someone can take/implement the advice given to them by someone else.

• Schools should work on their confidentiality policy, explain it to students, and make it a point to not share with parents unless it is necessary (ex. threats of harm to self or others)

• To have conversations with parents in their native language, we need people who can speak those languages. Schools should account for what languages students speak at home so that they can hire people who speak these languages.

• I like the idea of having people speak about their mental health struggles and I think something that could help with that is having speakers who demonstrate intersectionality. For example, having an Asian American 1st/2nd gen immigrant speak about their mental health can help reduce the stigma for Asian students. But we should have speakers from other groups as well.
