Mental Health

Your mental health matters as much as your physical health

Finding support for anxiety, depression, stress, or just needing someone to talk to is a sign of strength — not weakness.

💡 Good to Know

  • Your school counselor can connect you to free mental health services — no referral needed.
  • Many therapists offer sliding scale fees based on income — always ask.
  • Medi-Cal covers mental health services at no cost for eligible teens.
