Member Update From Janice Abraham

Sept. 13, 2021

While September marks the traditional Back to School season, 2021 continues to bring new twists to life on our campuses. At United Educators (UE), we are not only tracking the impact of the delta variant of COVID-19, but we are tracking broader risk issues for the education community.

Mental health is a growing concern for individuals and for campuses of every size and type. Research findings from The Hechinger Report on depression and anxiety signal that the pandemic’s toll is steep. A new episode of UE’s Prevention & Protection Podcast discusses the impact of the pandemic on student mental health and shares ways institutions can support students as they return to in-person learning.

As many of us return to campus after a long hiatus the potential for “roaring 20s” excesses abound. We know that alcohol is a contributing factor in many types of UE claims, such as Greek activities, student sexual assault, hazing, and study abroad. A recent UE Risk Management Insights blog gives practical tips for limiting the influence of alcohol in student claims.

Sadly, student opioid overdoses are also on the rise. As more overdoses occur in K-12 classrooms, organizations like the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) are encouraging schools and districts to include naloxone nasal spray in their opioid overdose response. You can learn more from UE’s Risk Management experts about how to respond to student opioid overdoses.

We are mindful of these ongoing challenges as well as the recent damages from Hurricane Ida impacting our members and brokers in Louisiana, Mississippi, and up the East Coast, as well as the wildfires in the west. Our team here at UE is committed to helping all our members maintain a safe environment so your educational communities can thrive. Let me know if there’s anything more we can do to support you as we mark the return to school in both traditional and innovative ways.

Best,

Janice M. Abraham
President and CEO
