The mental health crisis among children in the United States has become a pressing issue, particularly within the school environment. To address this challenge, Google's philanthropic arm has taken a proactive step by funding high school wellbeing projects through a classroom crowdfunding platform.
Google.org recently allocated $10 million to support mental health-related initiatives listed on DonorsChoose, an online charity platform where members assist public school teachers in acquiring necessary supplies. This move, in collaboration with actress Selena Gomez, aims to promote mindfulness as a key educational objective at the beginning of the academic year.
