The American School Counselor Association recommends a ratio of 250-to-1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Oakland has partnered with Alameda County and social service agencies to add dozens of mental health professionals on-site in the schools.

But after that week, the school was back to one counselor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That counselor only sees students that are on Medi-Cal already,” says Morales. “She was not able to open any new cases.

Researchers and advocates point to creating \u003ca href=\"https://traumaawareschools.org/\">“trauma-sensitive schools,”\u003c/a> where all the teachers and staff understand the effects of trauma and how to teach children who live with it. Morales says more training for teachers would be ideal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When one of my students comes to school crying, because his mom was arrested over the weekend, and he’s afraid he won’t have anybody to go home to, I have nobody else to send that child to,” says Morales. “That therapist? With the current structure? She can’t just pop in, and grab him and support him. She can’t give him emergency services. She would have to completely open a new case, which would involve contacting his parent or guardian, who is imprisoned, so it’s sort of a Catch-22.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex Briscoe, Alameda County’s health services director, says the county is working to put more counselors in the schools and train teachers and other providers but, he says, even if the district provided top-quality therapy for every Oakland student who needed it, schools alone can’t deal with the roots of trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t treat away the things that are causing trauma in poor communities. Access to a therapist doesn’t in and of itself reduce homicide rates,” Briscoe says. “It doesn’t shorten or mitigate the fact that communities of color are living in multigenerational poverty in ways that are new in our culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10506821\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/nicole-wiggins.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10506821 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/nicole-wiggins-1440x810.jpg\" alt=\"Nicole Wiggins at an OUSD planning meeting.

These are not the school counselors, nor are they the school psychologists, who tend to focus more on special-ed assessments. These therapists are there specifically for kids’ mental health issues. Jasmine Gonzalez leads the team at Diamond’s middle school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re already coping — they’re so resilient — they’re able to come here to school, though they might not always be able to get through class,” says Gonzalez. “I really try to focus on their strengths and then find other ways that they can cope: journaling, taking deep breaths, different coping skills, that they might already be using, but highlighting those things and giving them new skills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote align left\">‘Sometimes the tears want to come out …\u003cbr>\nthey don’t even know why.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Marisa Morales, Third-grade teacher\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>There is some progress in terms of responding to students’ problems. McClung says that in 2000, only a handful of schools in Oakland had a mental health professional on-site. Beginning last year, she says all schools have at least one, though not all are full time. The improvement is due to the district’s partnership with \u003ca href=\"http://www.acgov.org/health/\">Alameda County’s Health Services Agency\u003c/a>, under Alex Briscoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We took a lemon, the increasing concentration of poverty in public education, which is the harsh truth, and we turned it into lemonade,” says Briscoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County took Medi-Cal money and redirected it to put therapists on-site in the public schools. That’s pretty unusual. Other counties have visited Briscoe to figure out the formula for their own students. Briscoe says in six years, the county doubled the number of children from low-income families it’s helping with mental health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10505714\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 509px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/IMG_6357.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10505714\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/IMG_6357-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Diamond Allen (right) eats lunch in the cafeteria of his new school, Eastside College Preparatory School in East Palo Alto.

In the 2013-14 school year, there were three therapists there, for about 700 students. Clinical case manager Jasmine Gonzalez says each of them saw about 10 to 15 students on a weekly basis, in addition to family outreach and crisis calls. After the first week of grief counseling after Lee died, his friend Diamond Allen never started regular therapy at school. He relied on talks with the school’s restorative justice coordinator and his parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/203149186″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diamond’s father and mother, Jesus and Nicole Rodriguez, have known their own share of violence and trauma.

They found one with fewer homicides, one they hope will be safer for his little brothers and sisters. They sent Diamond away to a boarding school for high school, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastside.org/\">Eastside College Preparatory Academy\u003c/a> in East Palo Alto.

These are not the school counselors, nor are they the school psychologists, who tend to focus more on special-ed assessments. These therapists are there specifically for kids’ mental health issues. Jasmine Gonzalez leads the team at Diamond’s middle school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re already coping — they’re so resilient — they’re able to come here to school, though they might not always be able to get through class,” says Gonzalez. “I really try to focus on their strengths and then find other ways that they can cope: journaling, taking deep breaths, different coping skills, that they might already be using, but highlighting those things and giving them new skills.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote align left\">‘Sometimes the tears want to come out …\u003cbr>\nthey don’t even know why.’\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>Marisa Morales, Third-grade teacher\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>There is some progress in terms of responding to students’ problems. McClung says that in 2000, only a handful of schools in Oakland had a mental health professional on-site. Beginning last year, she says all schools have at least one, though not all are full time. The improvement is due to the district’s partnership with \u003ca href=\"http://www.acgov.org/health/\">Alameda County’s Health Services Agency\u003c/a>, under Alex Briscoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We took a lemon, the increasing concentration of poverty in public education, which is the harsh truth, and we turned it into lemonade,” says Briscoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County took Medi-Cal money and redirected it to put therapists on-site in the public schools. That’s pretty unusual. Other counties have visited Briscoe to figure out the formula for their own students. Briscoe says in six years, the county doubled the number of children from low-income families it’s helping with mental health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10505714\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 509px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/IMG_6357.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10505714\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/IMG_6357-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Diamond Allen (right) eats lunch in the cafeteria of his new school, Eastside College Preparatory School in East Palo Alto.

He says the hospital did not give the district much advance notice that Jacqueline would be released. Then, he says there was some confusion within the district over whether to send a special education teacher. And on top of that, the district teachers assigned to deliver instruction to students at home had full caseloads in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silvia Funes was frustrated because, without a teacher, Jacqueline was desperately bored at a time when schoolwork could have boosted her spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She can’t move her body,” Funes says. “But her mind is fine.

One of the lockdowns this year was particularly bad, says Marisa Morales, Jacqueline’s third-grade teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a drive-by. It was a semiautomatic or something. There were multiple shots,” Morales says. “At 3 o’clock, we had just dismissed our students. We had students everywhere, and families, and kids, little kids. And everybody was just running, trying to get inside the building, trying to shut all the doors. That was a bad one.

He says the hospital did not give the district much advance notice that Jacqueline would be released. Then, he says there was some confusion within the district over whether to send a special education teacher. And on top of that, the district teachers assigned to deliver instruction to students at home had full caseloads in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silvia Funes was frustrated because, without a teacher, Jacqueline was desperately bored at a time when schoolwork could have boosted her spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She can’t move her body,” Funes says. “But her mind is fine.

One of the lockdowns this year was particularly bad, says Marisa Morales, Jacqueline’s third-grade teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a drive-by. It was a semiautomatic or something. There were multiple shots,” Morales says. “At 3 o’clock, we had just dismissed our students. We had students everywhere, and families, and kids, little kids. And everybody was just running, trying to get inside the building, trying to shut all the doors. That was a bad one.

When NET dissolved in 1970, a part of their archive including KQED's \"Blacks, Blues, Black!\" was transferred to WNET, New York City's public media affiliate.
