Care Solace

If you or a family member are looking for help with mental health or substance use, Care Solace can help you quickly find treatment options matched to your needs, regardless of the circumstances. Care Solace is a complimentary and confidential service provided to students, staff, and their families by Plymouth Public Schools. Care Solace's team is available 24/7/365 and can support you in any language. If you would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider:

• Call 888-515-0595 available 24/7/365.
• Visit www.caresolace.com/plymouth and either search on your own OR click "Book Appointment" for assistance by video chat, email or phone.
• You may also choose to have someone from the school (school counselor, school psychologist, school nurse or administrator) to assist with the referral process. Please complete, sign and return this consent form to your child's school.

Information on individual treatment providers is gathered by Care Solace based on criteria such as geographic proximity, whether the provider accepts the authorized user's insurance, and whether the provider is accepting new patients. The school district does not recommend, endorse, promote, or refer to any of the individual treatment providers.
