todayOctober 17, 2022

With rates of anxiety and depression among children accelerating during the pandemic, several states are now allowing kids to take mental health days as an excused absence, and experts say it’s a good idea.  Director of Behavioral Health  Community-Based services with SSM Health Greater Fond du Lac Region,  Doctor Matt Doll, says taking a mental health day is important.  Dr. Doll says the point of taking a mental health day isn’t about avoiding school or trying to avoid a big test at school.  Health experts say it’s an opportunity to rest and recharge your batteries.
