Pláticas del aula - Bienestar en el invierno
As we begin this unique holiday season, Desert Sands Unified School District expects that more people in our community will be in need of help. The holiday season can already be a challenging time and this year we anticipate it will be more difficult for many of us, our kids, teens, and families.
As we approach winter break, we encourage you to save these resources so you can easily reference them should you or someone you know need help. DSUSD has partnered with Care Solace to support our community’s mental health wellness.
DSUSD staff members, students,and their families can use Care Solace to quickly find verified mental health, behavioral health, and substance use treatment options matched to their needs regardless of circumstances or insurance coverage. Care Solace’s team is available 24/7 and can support you in any language.
If you would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider:
- Call 888-515-0595. 24 hours a day/7 days a week
- Visit DSUSD Care Solace and either search on your own, OR click “Book Appointment” for assistance by video chat, email, or phone.
- Email [email protected] with the following information:
- Your name and contact information (cell phone number)
- Your preferred language
- A good time for Care Solace to contact you
Care Solace will assign a personal Care Concierge to support you through the process of finding mental health care. Your Care Concierge will identify available providers who accept your insurance; private, Medi-Cal, sliding scale or cost-free options. They will help you book an appointment and check in afterward to see if you like the provider or need additional support.
