Charles Koehler interviews Harold Player, Supervisor of School Social Work Services, about the challenges faced by LGBTQ students in St. Louis public schools. Player discusses the school crisis intervention team, established in 1985, which addresses issues like violence, drug abuse, and suicide. He notes that while the system doesn't target LGBTQ students specifically, they treat all students equally, addressing depression and providing necessary resources. Player emphasizes the importance of listening and supporting students, citing a successful case of a 10-year-old girl who attempted suicide. He also stresses the school's zero-tolerance policy for harassment and discrimination, and reassures that the school system is an equal opportunity employer.
