Child gun injury risk spikes when children leave school for the day
Boston University School of Public HealthPeer-Reviewed Publication
A new study published in AJPM Focus found that the risk of child firearm injuries was 45 percent higher during the 2-6 pm afterschool period on school days, compared to non-school days, among students at public schools in New York City. This risk nearly tripled in the immediate period at the end of the school day, typically about 2 pm. A second study, published in Prevention Science, examined the benefits of summer youth employment programs and found that these programs not only reduce youth involvement in crime and violence, but also improve youth educational outcomes, social connections, and community engagement.

Florida Atlantic UniversityPeer-Reviewed Publication
Many students face anxiety, stress, or disconnection that can hinder academic and social-emotional growth. FAU College of Education researchers studied the Student Success Skills small group counseling program for sixth graders. Across six sessions, students strengthened anger management, goal-setting, and social problem-solving skills while fostering trust and community. Findings showed improved school connectedness, positive perceptions of school climate, and increased engagement, demonstrating that ASE-based small group counseling effectively supports students’ emotional well-being and academic success.
