WELLNESS COMMITTEE Did you know that according to DrugFree.org, less than half of teens with mental health disorders get the help they need? On Dec. 5, Brookline's Wellness Committee summit, "Youth & Mental Health: Balancing the Wellness Wheel," is gathering together a select group of school administrators and staff, public health professionals, community members, Brookline parents and students to generate strategies that will help develop a "whole child" approach to youth mental health and overall wellbeing. Be on the lookout for the post-summit Parent Update on Youth & Mental Health.
