It's been more than a year now since many kids across the country returned to their classrooms.

But some educators just don't feel equipped to support kids who are grieving.

NPR's Rhitu Chatterjee speaks with a handful of school mental health professionals who recently attended a special training on grief and trauma.

Also in this episode, NPR's Eric Deggans speaks with a psychologist on collective trauma in the wake of mass shootings.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
