  • Back-to-School Alert: How SEL and Mental Health Screenings Impact Your Kids | 8/16/25 | ATT #215

    Back-to-School Alert: How SEL and Mental Health Screenings Impact Your Kids | 8/16/25 | ATT #215
    Aug 16 2025
    Schools are changing fast—far beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. Dive into a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges parents face in navigating today’s public school system, including the impact of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model, and controversial policies like California’s AB495 and Illinois’ mandatory mental health screenings for grades 3-12 starting in the 2027-28 school year. As Christian parents, we’re called to steward our children’s hearts and minds (Deut. 6:6–9; Prov. 1:8; Eph. 6:4). Learn how these initiatives, often tied to equity, critical theory, and data collection, may affect your child’s education and worldview, and explore practical ways to stay informed and protect parental rights. Our aim isn’t panic—it’s clarity, so you can make wise, prayerful decisions for your family.

Monique and Hillary look at biblical examples of faithful doubters and learn practical ways to move from uncertainty to deeper trust. If you’re standing in the dark, unsure what you believe, this conversation will remind you that God welcomes your questions and your wrestling heart.
