Many have dedicated staff, but schools shouldn’t have to be the sole source of support for families. That’s where BrightLife Kids can help. We’re proud to be partnered with 40+ County Offices of Education, 200+ school districts, and 270+ schools across California.  These partnerships expand vital access to free behavioral health support for students and families — lifting some of the burden that school staff carry along the way. ![Teacher with students raising hands image](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/1K7jptnAOWqByTPUz2rEVV/c57726c06d74bb5f9f40532d20561d78/AdobeStock_562124636.jpg) - [Asóciate con nosotros](/resources/ce-stay-connected/) - [Absenteeism resources](/partners/resources/campaigns/absenteeism/) ## Por qué las asociaciones escolares tienen tanto sentido - [Learn more about coaching](/parent-coaching/) ### Free and accessible for families All services are 100% free, confidential, and online; no insurance or referrals needed. ![Icon Check Mark Green](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/EjAl3nTUbPkGy1bFJQi2Z/e26e49b05f528850d62d0d0b6efd0c2d/Icon_Check_Mark_Green.svg) ### Easy-to-share resources Flexible tools and plug-and-play materials ease communication with staff and teachers. ![Icon Check Mark Green](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/EjAl3nTUbPkGy1bFJQi2Z/e26e49b05f528850d62d0d0b6efd0c2d/Icon_Check_Mark_Green.svg) ### Support beyond the classroom Coaching improves relationships, communication, and behaviors at home and at school. ![Icon Check Mark Green](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/EjAl3nTUbPkGy1bFJQi2Z/e26e49b05f528850d62d0d0b6efd0c2d/Icon_Check_Mark_Green.svg) ### An aligned resource for families School staff has an additional free source of support to share with the families and kids they care so much about. ![Icon Check Mark Green](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/EjAl3nTUbPkGy1bFJQi2Z/e26e49b05f528850d62d0d0b6efd0c2d/Icon_Check_Mark_Green.svg) ![Teacher in front of classroom](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/66yCD0AanAmMzY89wMmYz4/7e408488f1cb913f0f182e899035c00f/AdobeStock_279231645.jpg) ## For school leaders and administrators The well-being of your students impacts their own attendance and ability to learn, and more broadly, your staff and school culture.
