As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, HCPS Student Support and Wellness is offering four mental health awareness sessions for our Dari- and Spanish-speaking families in Henrico.

Capaz+IT, a local organization that works directly to support multilingual and immigrants families, will help facilitate these open discussions about mental health awareness for students and families in a safe, inclusive environment. These sessions will help you become a mental health advocate within your community, connect with others and learn about the mental health and wellness resources available to you from Henrico Schools and beyond.

The first session is Wednesday, May 7, at the ACE Center at Hermitage and will be offered in Dari. Find the full schedule with languages offered below.

There is no cost to attend, and free lunch will be provided. Register at https://hcps.info/MHSessions.
