Fresno Unified has gained access to 'SimpleConnect', a platform designed to address multiple health requirements.
Fresno Unified School District is taking a significant step towards promoting the health and well-being of its students and their families. The district has partnered with SimpleTherapy to launch SimpleConnect, a no-cost student and family assistance program [1].
SimpleConnect is designed to address a variety of health and well-being needs, extending its support to both students and their families [2]. The district pays a nominal student rate of $1.65 per student per month to offer access to this program [4].
The program offers a range of features, including health-related assistance, emotional well-being support, and life balance resources [3]. It also provides a 24/7 hotline staffed with licensed behavioral health clinicians [6]. One of the standout features is the availability of bite-sized videos for various situations [9].
Fresno Unified Director of Student Support Services, Abigail Arii, emphasizes the importance of student support for academic success. She expresses her gratitude for the ongoing support availability, particularly during breaks like summer and winter [10].
To access SimpleConnect, families can inquire and register through their school’s administrative office or district health services [7]. Alternatively, they can visit simpleconnectapp.com and use the code "fusdfamily" [8].
Jeremy Oswald, President of SimpleTherapy, notes that SimpleConnect was created to take the administrative burden off users, allowing them to focus on their health and well-being [11]. The program is free for students and their families.
In addition to SimpleConnect, Fresno Unified School District and Fresno Teachers Association have collaborated to provide students with access to 24/7 mental health resources [5]. The district has shared details about SimpleConnect on its social media platforms and will formally introduce it this fall [12].
Families can follow the district's social media platforms for news updates, including Facebook, Instagram, and X [13]. Supported students are better positioned to engage in school and community, making SimpleConnect an invaluable resource for the Fresno Unified School District community.
- Built on the partnership between Fresno Unified School District and SimpleTherapy, the SimpleConnect program aims to support students' and families' mental health, health-and-wellness, and overall well-being, providing assistance in various aspects of life balance, emotional well-being, and health-related matters.
- The SimpleConnect program, complete with a 24/7 hotline staffed by licensed behavioral health clinicians, offers a range of resources, including bite-sized videos designed to help navigate various situations, making it an invaluable tool for mental health support that is free for students and their families.
