I have unlimited love and respect for the mental health care providers in the city. Especially those working with the school children under these conditions

CHAC is a community organization of an odd quasi-public form. It is a non-profit. It could really use your private charitable donation.
(100% deductible - if you can still get those Schedule A's). [Federal 501 (c)(3) ]

MV Voice CHAC funding article Dec 2019 (also by K.F.). The link is:

The "odd quasi-public" form of CHAC is a JPA, a Joint Powers Authority of private and government bodies. MVWSD and MVLA are, for instance, official founders and members.

It's nice to hear that even during a pandemic, students can turn to someone for help. I'm sure that even many of them visit such websites Web Link if they aren't aware of mental health counseling available on campus. We live in a time of crisis and such services are much more needed.
