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

In short,

DON"T SAY, "We gotta help the poor poor kids get better mental health treatment because their epigenetics are gonna get messed up because of trauma and you are immoral if you won't help the kids who need it so so much because they are gonna go out and commit crimes if we don't do this."

DO SAY, "We should build future properity of our country by investing in kids who need supports. This provides a levelling influence, like patching a leg on a 2 leg table, to relieve effects of toxic stress. So that way we can harness american ingenuity to help all kids reach full potential."

SORTA like that.
