Santa Rosa city school officials are hoping to help students deal with post-fire trauma. The district this summer is set to open a clinic behind the closed Lewis Opportunity School on Lomitas Avenue that will offer free medical, counseling and academic support. As many as 800 district students lost homes in the October wildfires, and many are still dealing with mental and medical issues affecting school work. Officials plan to have the facility available to students during summers and evenings during the school year.
