FCPS has partnered with Hazel Health to begin offering virtual mental health services to all FCPS high school students. 

If you have been struggling to connect your child with a therapist, or if you have noticed changes in your child’s behavior, this new service can help. Starting April 10 FCPS will be offering short-term, evidence-based, culturally-response mental health teletherapy for students, Monday - Friday from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.

Hazel Health provides therapy via video sessions from a student’s home on any computer or smart device. Hazel’s licensed therapists can help your child with:

  • Mood/behavior changes, motivation, grief/loss.
  • Anxiety, worry, fears.
  • Social skills, bullying, sexual identity challenges, peer & family relationships.
  • Academic stress.

These services will be provided by locally-licensed clinicians.

  • 50% of Hazel providers identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC).
  • 40% of Hazel providers are bilingual, speaking over 15 languages.

The first step is to provide information through an opt-in form. More information can be found at fcps.edu/teletherapy under the section, “How to Access Services”.
