![Paly Assistant Principal Jerry Berkson observes students eating during lunch break to ensure that those on campus follow safety protocols. Berkson said students have a broad range of emotional responses to the pandemic, and he says he hopes that reopening and socialization will help address the mental health needs of all students. “I think different people are affected in different ways [with] their mental health through this whole thing [pandemic],” Berkson said. “I have two kids, and I would say they weren't affected at all.” [[is there a better quote you can use here? maybe something that actually has to do w/campus and what the picture is about]] [[also if the picture was originally higher res, you should crop in more i think]] Photo: Daniel Garepis-Holland.](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/IMG_0708-1-900x585.jpg)
![Shifting locations during COVID-19, the Palo Alto High School Wellness Center has quickly adapted to new spaces — both physical and virtual. Wellness Outreach Officer Whitney Aquino said that although the Wellness Center staff is unable to check on students in the same way they normally would, they are offering resources to ensure that students feel supported. "[Previously] they're taking a break in class and then you can say, 'Do you want to talk to someone?' and they might end up opening up ... versus when we're online, folks can just take a break in their own homes," she said. "We've seen perhaps fewer people dropping in, but we've also seen more people who are able to access resources by coming in on their own or filling out the form."
