Detention with Dr. Nadia Lopez

In this part two conversation with Diane Nathaniel, school guidance counselor who is responsible for offering support to over 900 students in a NYC public school, we discuss the struggles our elementary students are facing, the impact COVID had in our buildings, and why she and fellow colleagues deserve to be treated as professionals with an expertise in child development, not bandages that only serves as temporary fixes for larger problems. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/detention-with-dr-nadia-lopez/support
