Roanoke City Public Schools has launched a new mental health service with Hazel Health! Students can meet with a licensed therapist virtually for a therapy appointment. Services are available at school and at home and are at no cost to families.

Hazel Health services include:

• Scheduled therapy appointments: Therapy can help students cope with what they’re feeling, such as behavior changes, anxiety, bullying, withdrawal, grief, peer and family relationships, depression, or stress.
• Licensed therapists: Hazel Health therapists are bilingual, diverse and are experts in the needs of children and teens.
• Care coordination: If your child needs additional services outside of Hazel Health services, Hazel will help connect you to local resources.

Request a therapy appointment for your student by calling Hazel Health at 1-800-76-HAZEL (42935).

Learn more and sign up: my.hazel.co/rcps. Families will be asked to consent to both physical health and mental health services at the same time. Physical health services will be available beginning in January.

Coming Soon: Physical Health Services

Starting in January, Hazel Health will also offer same-day pediatric care.

Hazel can help with stomach aches, headaches, sprained ankles, asthma concerns, pink eye, and everything in between. Hazel can also coordinate with local providers, including primary care providers and specialists, to ensure students continue to receive care.

RCPS will provide more information soon!
