Starting Monday, school resource officers will be offered training on adolescent mental health and what they can do to intervene effectively and safely.
Democratic Arizona Rep. Alma Hernandez knows firsthand how unsafe an interaction with officers can be when they are not prepared to handle a crisis.

The Show spoke with Rep. Hernandez to talk about the painful experience she had as a student, and how that has pushed her to protect other students today.
