Much of my book focuses on educational approaches to supporting youth mental health, and Hammond’s is one of my favorite books on how to construct a classroom that honors and celebrates all the diverse voices in the room, and how to do so through what she (and others) call being a “warm demander.”

The book is inspirational, important, and wise. I revisit it often.

From Sarah's list on help us face our monsters and embrace mental health.
