They are designed to help leaders:
Washington now has the scientific evidence, moral responsibility, and legal obligation to confront a youth mental-health emergency that is both widespread and preventable. Doing so requires acknowledging that the industrial-era, age-based, standardized school model is a significant driver of harm—and that redesigning public education around modern developmental science offers a clear path forward.
This work centers human growth, learning, and well-being as the foundation of public education, rather than preserving structures that no longer serve students, families, or communities.
If you are a district leader, educator, policymaker, funder, or community member interested in learning more, we welcome the opportunity to connect. Briefings are confidential, practical, and grounded in publicly available data and science. They are designed to help leaders:
Understand what the evidence now shows about youth mental health, learning, and system design.
See how science-aligned redesign can occur inside real public schools using existing buildings, staffing, and budgets.
Explore whether partnership or pilot participation is right for your community, at a pace you determine.
There is no obligation beyond an initial conversation.
