Hingham Public Schools has partnered with Care Solace, an organization determined to support mental health care coordination and expand access to community mental health and substance use treatment providers for students, staff, and their families. Care Solace provides a Care CompanionTM team who can quickly and confidentially find available providers in the community. Care Solace also equips school systems with a customized online tool that gives community members a way to anonymously search for community-based providers matched to their needs.
Dr. Margaret Adams, Superintendent of Schools, shared, “Accessing mental health supports can be challenging including accessing providers, navigating the insurances, and scheduling appointments. We know that the past years of the pandemic have impacted the social-emotional needs of those in our community. Care Solace is an important additional resource in accessing support for our students, families, and staff.”
With Care Solace, families and staff gain access to a dedicated Care CompanionTM to navigate the mental health care system on their behalf, calling providers to find the right fit and availability. They help families with private insurance, Medicaid, and no insurance, and are available 24/7/365 in any language.
Care Solace’s care navigation system uses proprietary technology and a vast database of behavioral and mental health care resources to find carefully verified therapists and programs in minutes.
Students, staff, and families may access Care Solace services in two ways:
• Call (888) 515-0595 at any time. Support is available in 200+ languages. A dedicated Care CompanionTM will help you every step of the way to research options, secure appointments, and follow up to make sure it is a good fit.
• For an anonymous search, answer a few questions to get matched with an extensive list of
care providers at www.caresolace.com/hinghamschools.
Please note, this service is an optional resource available by choice and is not mandatory to use. Care Solace is not an emergency response service or mental health services provider. In the event of a life-threatening emergency, please call 9-1-1 or the National Suicide Hotline at 9-8-8.
