Schools Boost Mental Health Support | Reno News

Washoe County Schools is launching a major mental health initiative as the new school year begins, bringing counselors, psychologists, and social workers directly into classrooms — with plans to expand support across high schools, middle schools, and select elementary campuses. The district is doubling down on family engagement, urging parents to partner with teachers and staff to build stronger student connections. Chief Student Services Officer Paul LaMarca offers practical tips for students: prioritize sleep, ditch phones in bedrooms, eat breakfast, and join afterschool programs to stay connected. The district’s website also serves as a one-stop hub for academic resources like credit recovery and personalized online learning paths. And if you’re ever unsure where to start, there’s a dedicated Family-School Partnerships team ready to help close the gap between home and school — because every student deserves a supportive network.
