Counseling services have been made available for students in Nixa following the death of a 4th-grade student.
Nine-year-old Alex Finley was killed in a car crash in Nixa Wednesday night. Burrell Behavioral Health has a partnership with Nixa Public Schools to help support students, especially during a time like this.
Those with Burrell said kids can respond in different ways to traumatic events like the death of a classmate. For many, they may not vocalize what they are thinking.
