PSD families and staff, we are excited to announce our partnership with Care Solace!
Care Solace is a free and confidential coordination service from Parchment School District, available to support you! If you or a family member needs assistance with mental health or substance use, Care Solace can help regardless of insurance status. They work with all major providers including Medicaid and Medicare.
Our support for students and families doesn’t stop after the regular school year, but it can be hard to find care when school is not in session. We remain committed to providing assistance throughout the summer and especially to those in the summer school program. Care Solace staff aim to help students excel academically, emotionally, and socially.
Contact them at 888-515-0595 or visit caresolace.com/parchmentschools for confidential support.
Happy Summer, Panthers!
