Olathe Public Schools will be offering free mental health counseling this summer for all staff, students and families, district officials said. The Summer H.E.L.P (Help Each Live Productively) Clinic is offering individual mental health sessions, group sessions, family therapy, parent support groups and staff wellness groups. The program has been in place since the summer of 2018, according to Becky Grubaugh, a spokesperson for the Olathe school district. Sessions are up to 50 minutes and will be conducted by Olathe Public Schools Licensed Mental Health Providers and interns from Friends University’s marriage and family therapy program. This year, many students across the school district have been touched by gun violence.
