Student Mental Health Week

May 10 - 14, 2021

May 10-14, 2021 is Student Mental Health Week. This week draws attention to the important issue of student mental health and the need for schools and the community to address childhood trauma and prevent suicide. Children and youth mental health issues are real, widespread, and treatable. One in five youth are identified as struggling psychologically. Take a moment to discuss with your child how important their mental health is to you.


Pleasanton Unified School District is committed to every child thriving and fulfilling their potential and we stand with the entire State of California to support our students’ mental, and emotional wellbeing. See PUSD School Counseling Pages for individual schools' counseling websites and resources.
