FAYETTEVILLE, Ohio — Ghosts populate the campus of Chatfield College. They’re in the fading photos on the library walls of students who, over 177 years, attended the college and the boarding school from which it sprang, and of the Ursuline nuns who taught them, in their simple tunics and scapulars. Amid seemingly endless acres of tobacco, soybean and wheat farms in a village in southwest Ohio with a population of 241 , the now-closed college sits at the end of a narrow entrance road flanked by B

I’ve been a school social worker for the last 15 years, so I am acutely aware of our nation’s mounting youth mental health crisis.

Did you get a little bit bigger over the holiday season? Well, so did America. You may not have noticed in the pre-Christmas rush, but on December 19, 2023, the U.S. added an area of about 1 million km2 (roughly 386,000 square miles). That’s about the size of one Egypt or slightly more than two Californias. Ice ridges in the Beaufort Sea off the northern coast of Alaska.
