Reply to "Can we please STOP talking about "mental health"?"

Thanks for the link, Shawn. I'm a little confused, because Frameworks uses "mental health" throughout both of the links mentioned here, even when they discuss solutions. I think they offer a good start in reframing the conversation in taking a solution-oriented approach to children's mental illness and health (it's toxic stress, it can be solved), but could be enhanced by adding specifics of what causes toxic stress (the 10 original ACEs, plus racism, bullying, witnessing violence outside the home, involvement with the foster care system, involvement with the medical care system, attending a zero-tolerance school, involvement with the juvenile justice system, homelessness, moving often, etc.), so that people can have some ideas on what to start working on to change.
