Free Teletherapy for 35,000 Virginia Beach Students, Serious Court Cases, and Weekend Weather Outlook
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, December 12. We start with great news for our students. Virginia Beach City Public Schools just launched free unlimited teletherapy for all kids in grades six through twelve, reaching about 35,000 students. Partnering with Uwill, they offer virtual counseling after school, nights, weekends, and breaks, funded by a 250,000 dollar state grant. In a crisis, a licensed clinician connects in 30 seconds. This means easier access to mental health support right here at home, especially with so many teens facing anxiety.
Shifting to our courts, Norfolk Circuit Court dockets show several serious cases today, including sentencings for robbery with a firearm near the beach area and assaults on law enforcement. Police made arrests in the past day for DWI third offenses around Laskin Road and unauthorized vehicle use downtown. Stay vigilant, stay safe, and report anything suspicious.
Weather wise, we have partly cloudy skies this morning with lows in the low 30s and northwest winds at 5 miles per hour. A slight chance of flurries early, turning to possible light rain and snow mix this afternoon, highs in the low 40s. Bundle up for outdoor plans at the boardwalk or First Landing State Park, and watch for slick spots on bridges like the Lynnhaven.
From city hall, no big decisions today, but were watching school board moves that boost daily mental health for families. On the job front, federal stats show steady opportunities, though wages dip slightly like in other metros, so check listings at places like the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
Schools shine too, with Virginia Wesleyan Marlins volunteering across our community, from beach cleanups to holiday drives. And a feel-good story: alumni rallied to voice input on university changes, strengthening our local ties.
Looking ahead, bundle up for weekend events like the holiday lights at Mount Trashmore Park this Saturday. No major business openings noted, but keep eyes on Atlantic Avenue for seasonal spots.
Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe for daily updates. This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
