The isolation and uncertainty caused by COVID-19 is stressful for adults, but it can be even more upsetting for young people.
The Henderson County school system is offering counseling for students, and workshops for adults to help them get through the pandemic.
In addition to school guidance counselors, Henderson County Schools have seven mental health counselors. Four of the seven are funded by a federal grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMSA.
The funding is for Project AWARE, which is to increase knowledge about mental health-related issues in the community.
Jamie Like, Project AWARE grant director for Henderson County Schools, said the grant helps expand mental health services to students and families.
