BUSD Health & Wellness Support
Health & Wellness Initiative
The Berryessa Union School District fosters a culture that promotes the health, safety, and well-being of students, staff, and families. Berryessa's Health & Wellness Page is dedicated to mental and physical wellness information and resources.
To ensure access to free, appropriate public education, we provide mental health strategies to help our students learn skills to remove stress and cope with the ever-increasing competitive nature of learning. You will also find that many of the resources are also applicable to servicing our adult community.
BUSD's Mental & Physical Wellness
Care Solace is an online resource with a live 24/7 concierge line meant to assist individuals in finding local mental health related programs and counseling services. To use Care Solace, individuals answer ten basic questions in order to receive an extensive list of referrals to applicable care providers. Care Solace takes into account all types of private insurance including Medi-Cal, Medicaid, and Medicare and those that have no insurance. The system also filters by age, gender, zip code and special request.
Care Solace is now available for use by Berryessa students and families at no cost. Please note, this service is an optional resource available by choice and is not mandatory in any way. Care Solace does not require a user’s name, address, phone number, or date of birth. All of the information that is entered in on their platform is completely confidential and stored securely.
If you are interested in seeking counseling-related services at this time, please consider visiting caresolace.com/berryessafamilies or clicking the link to begin.
