BALDWIN PARK – Baldwin Park Unified is partnering with Care Solace, an online research tool that assists individuals in finding local counseling-related services, to promote the importance of mental health and ensure the well-being of the District community.

“Ensuring the social and emotional well-being of our students, educators and faculty is as essential to the District’s success as providing rigorous, engaging academic opportunities,” Superintendent Dr. Froilan N. Mendoza said. “We are exceptionally pleased to be able to offer Care Solace services across Baldwin Park Unified.”

Care Solace services are available at no cost to BPUSD students, families and staff.

To use the program, individuals answer 10 questions and are directed to an extensive list of referrals for care providers. A search algorithm matches individuals with mental health care resources within seconds.

A Student Care Tracker also is available so parents can monitor their child’s progress and take the necessary steps to locate additional resources if needed.

Care Solace generates referrals that take into account a variety of insurance policies, including private insurance, Medi-Cal, Medicaid and Medicare. If uninsured, Care Solace also identifies local care providers that allow individuals to pay out-of-pocket for services.
