Los Altos School District is partnered with Community Health Awareness Council (CHAC) to help meet the mental health and social emotional needs of our students through school-based counseling.  Students who participate in counseling services meet with a CHAC counseling intern one or two times per week for play-based counseling.  Play-based counseling is a form of psychotherapy used with children to help them express or act out their experiences, feelings, and problems by playing with dolls, toys, and other play material, under the guidance or observation of a therapist.

If you feel your child could benefit from any of these services, please discuss this possibility with your child’s classroom teacher.
