Activities like walking or riding a bike “triggers hormonal releases, including endorphins that promote our brain health―reducing stress and improving sleep―and cognitive function, enhancing the ability to think.” —Dr. Alan Chu huffpost.com/entry/physical…

“There’s a growing recognition that #mentalhealth is just as important as physical health in young people’s development, but that’s happening just as mental health services are under extreme strain."—Dr. Robin Gurwitch apa.org/monitor/2023/0…

“An advanced placement course that ignores the decades of science studying sexual orientation and gender identity would deprive students of knowledge they will need to succeed in their studies, in high school and beyond.”—APA CEO @ArthurCEvans apa.org/news/press/rel…

@FCCPS @peternoonan Please stand up and object to IB agreeing to abide by Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law and remove all sexual orientation and gender identity materials from its IB psychology course. Don’t be silent. newsroom.collegeboard.org/statement-ap-p…
