Students in Palm Beach County, Fla., are experiencing a " concerning uptick" in mental health disorders over the past few years, says the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County.
Nearly 3,000 students were referred to mental health professionals in the 2021 school year alone, with issues including depression, anxiety, school-related stress, interpersonal relationships, and trauma, the foundation says in a press release.
