in Around California

(STACKER) — The average U.S. gas price as of Monday tumbled six cents from last week, following President Joe Biden’s release of 1 million barrels of oil per day for the next six months from the country’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

While a six-cent-savings at the pump might feel like a major win, it’s not exactly $2.3 billion back in your pocket.

California teachers train to spot mental health warning signs

Benito Luna-Herrera, a 7th grade social studies teacher in Southern California, tells of middle school students whose post-pandemic depression led them to thoughts of suicide. Other educators say they have never seen so much school violence, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and suicide ideation.

The silver lining in Luna-Herrera’s case is that special training helped him know what to look for and how to respond to signs of a mental emergency. He is among a small but growing number of California teachers and school staff to take a course called Youth Mental Health First Aid. It teaches adults how to spot warning signs of mental health risks and substance abuse in children, and how to prevent a tragedy.
