LAKE TAHOE

This year, the Tahoe Community Foundation’s Community Impact Grant cycle revealed something urgent: mental health needs in the region have surged, including the need for bilingual services. Many of these applications highlighted experiences in the community of an increasing need to find help: parents searching for support for an anxious teen, individuals struggling to find bilingual counseling, families seeking grief counseling. These stories are a reminder that mental health touches every family, every neighborhood, and every shore of Lake Tahoe.

On the North Shore, Tahoe Family Solutions has long been a trusted resource for families, offering counseling, youth development programs, and family support services. With this grant, it will expand bilingual mental health counseling by increasing office hours for licensed therapists and providing culturally responsive care for Spanish-speaking families. This means more children and parents can access therapy without leaving their community, reducing wait times, and breaking down language barriers. 

This grant is a lifeline to the community as the need for these services increase and intensify.
