The Alamogordo Public Schools health services team gets ready to hand out snacks and water bottles with barcodes linking to mental health resources.

A few times a month, this 40-foot RV pulls up to Washington Park in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and nurses distribute crayons and coloring books, pamphlets on health care and water bottles with barcodes linking to resources for mental health. (Photo courtesy of Lisa Patch/Alamogordo Public Schools)
