Great news! CHC is also offering free talks on a wide variety of youth mental health issues over the course of the next year. I would encourage anyone who didn’t receive the CHC brochure in the mail to contact CHC for more information. The talks are a good opportunity to ask questions of experienced mental health professionals and to learn more about the the variety of services CHC offers.

I hope I read the article too fast and missed the part where any teenager, not just those with insurance, can seek mental health services at Stanford. Wouldn't it be great to have a walk-in clinic that would help every teenager seeking treatment, and without parental consent?

Here was a bit from a 2017 article: "A recent Children's Health Council study found a "significant need" for a Palo Alto-based after-school therapy program for teenagers, the nonprofit said."

and it goes to mention Mountain View's El Camino based ASPIRE program
