ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. (WFXR)- Roanoke County Public Schools is now offering free counseling sessions to support mental heath to its students and their families.
The “Let’s Talk” initiative is a new telehealth service that provides up to five free counseling sessions for issues such as the following:
- Relationships
- Stress
- Anxiety/depression
- Coping with grief or loss
- and any other difficult life situation
“This program will support students and families through direct counseling, prevention, and early intervention services delivered by a contracted mental telehealth provider. We’re working to improve access to care by reducing barriers such as transportation and scheduling challenges, supporting early identification and intervention for mental health concerns, and fostering a more supportive and responsive school environment that promotes wellness and academic success,” said Dr. Shawn Hughes, director of school counseling for Roanoke County Public Schools.
Sessions can be booked online at www.rcps.us/letstalk…
