TELEHEALTH SERVICES TO SUPPORT STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH AVAILABLE

nn

At Mayfield City Schools, the safety and well-being of our students are always our top priority. Recognizing the increasing need for mental health, counseling, and intervention services, we are excited to announce a new partnership with Hazel Health, a confidential telehealth service available to all Mayfield students, beginning February 3, 2025.

Thanks to the support of our community during the district’s November 2024 levy request, this partnership allows Mayfield students to access high-quality telehealth care at no cost to their families. Through Hazel Health, students can receive teletherapy sessions with a licensed therapist either at school or at home using any smartphone, tablet, or computer. All appointments are private and completely confidential.

Starting Monday, February 3rd, teletherapy services will be available to all Mayfield students in grades K-12. With parental consent, students can choose their therapist based on gender, race, or language preferences to ensure a comfortable and personalized experience.
