MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS

To support our students’ well-being and help them heal from the impact of the Eaton Fire, 
PUSD is providing social-emotional learning, activities that help students cope with crises, 
and mental health services that address mental, social, and emotional barriers to learning.

PUSD’s Student Wellness and Support Services provides mental health services through 
PUSD Mental Health Services and THRIVE: School Mental Health. Both provide free 
comprehensive services to students and their families. Whether or not you have health 
insurance, seek support from home or at school, visit pusd.us/mentalhealth or call (626) 
396-5920 and connect with us for support. We will heal and rise together.

Here are links to some other resources that may help students:

Hazel Health: is a PUSD partner that offers students free virtual physical and mental 
healthcare services. (English, Spanish)

BrightLife Kids: This CalHope app by Brightline provides mental health support tailored 
to children aged 0-12 years old and their families. BrightLife Kids is available for free and 
can be shared as a resource for caregivers and families experiencing stress.

Soluna App: California’s mental health app is designed for ages 13-25 and offers emotional 
health resources. It is completely free and confidential for California teens and young 
adults. Always.

Never a Bother: Launched in 2024 by the California Department of Public Health’s Office 
of Suicide Prevention, this campaign aims to prevent suicide and reduce self-harm among 
teens and young adults in California. Whether it's a low point, a crisis, or something you 
can't exactly put into words, get free help for yourself or a friend.
