Reddy (Rutgers University), and Frank C. Worrell, PhD (University of California, Berkeley)—was essential in the development of this work. The Task Force is supported by APA’s portfolio on Child and Adolescent Learning and Well-Being.

About the NEA Health and Safety Program
When unaddressed, health and safety issues undermine the health of students and educators, weaken student learning outcomes, exacerbate educator shortages, and burden school budgets. That’s why the NEA established the Health and Safety Program—to bring focus, support, energy, and an equity lens to resolving new and long-standing health and safety problems in Pre-K-12 education settings, institutions of higher education, and other public employee worksites. The Program focuses on environmental and occupational health, school health, mental health, and violence prevention and response.
