Care Solace: A Mental Health Support Service Available To All GPS Families

We are excited to share the news that Gloucester Public Schools has partnered with Care Solace, a FREE resource that coordinates mental health and substance abuse services for our students and their families.

We are committed to the well-being of our students, staff, and families to create a safe and healthy learning environment. In support of our ongoing commitment, the Gloucester Public Schools has partnered with Care Solace to provide an additional layer of care for our community.

Care Solace helps individuals find mental health care providers and substance use treatment centers. Their Care Companion team is available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and 365 days per year to quickly connect you to carefully verified providers in the community.

Gloucester Public Schools students, their families, and staff may access Care Solace services in two ways:

• Call (888) 515-0595 at any time. Support is available in 200-plus languages. A dedicated Care Companion will help you every step of the way to research options, secure appointments, and follow up to make sure it is a good fit

• For an anonymous search, go to caresolace.com/gloucesterschools to answer a few questions to get matched with an extensive list of mental health care providers and substance use treatment centers

Care Solace is now available for use 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. All information entered on the Care Solace tool is completely confidential and securely stored.

Please note, this service is an optional resource available by choice and is not mandatory to use. Care Solace is not an emergency response service or mental health services provider. In the event of a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

If you are interested in counseling-related services for your child, yourself, or another family member, please contact Care Solace for valuable assistance. This is a complimentary resource provided by the Gloucester Public Schools.
