A Spokane-area nonprofit is making a meaningful difference for students across the region. The founder of Light A Lamp has successfully brought mental health resources to 28 Spokane-area schools, according to a report from NonStop Local KHQ published Friday, June 19.

The initiative reflects a growing community commitment to student well-being, ensuring that young people in the Spokane area have access to mental health support within their own school buildings. Reaching 28 schools is a significant milestone, extending the organization’s reach across a wide swath of the local education community.

Efforts like Light A Lamp’s underscore how local nonprofits and community leaders are stepping up to address the mental health needs of Spokane’s youth — bringing help directly to the places where students spend much of their time. It’s the kind of grassroots, community-driven work that can make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families throughout the region.
