Berkley Schools Partners with Care Solace to Offer Free Mental Health Referrals

Berkley School District is committed to the health, safety and well-being of our students, staff and families. As another layer of our mental health services, the District has joined with Care Solace to provide a free mental health resource to connect our families with care. If you or a family member are looking for help with mental health or substance use, Care Solace will quickly connect you to community providers matched to your needs. Call 888-515-0595 at any time, or search on your own at the specialized Berkley Schools Care Solace website.

How Does Care Solace Work?

With a network of over 560,000 providers and services, Care Solace will help families and staff find the right help at the right time, 24/7/365, at no cost to you. They will connect you with providers accepting all medical insurances, including Medicaid, Medicare, and sliding scale options for those without insurance. This service is available for the uninsured, under insured and insured families and individuals.

Families and staff can access Care Solace services in three ways:

• Call 888-515-0595 at any time. Multilingual support is available 24/7/365. A dedicated Care Companion will help every step of the way to research options, secure appointments and follow up to make sure it is a good fit.
• Search anonymously to get matched with an extensive list of care providers
• Contact your school health professional, and they will submit a referral on your behalf.

How Do Berkley Schools Staff Interact with Care Solace?

The Berkley School District Student Service administrators have a dashboard to know how many times anyone from the Berkley Schools community uses Care Solace. Those details are numbers only, and don’t include patient information.

If one of our mental health staff members refers a student or staff member to Care Solace, they will perform a warm handoff. Our staff will input the person’s information into Care Solace, and will be able to track if that referral has used the services, followed up as requested and therefore can support them along that mental health journey. Patient/provider confidentiality is always maintained.

If You Need Immediate Assistance

If you have a life-threatening emergency, please call 9-1-1 or The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8. Care Solace is not an emergency response service or mental health services provider.
