# We partner with the top 25 largest school districts serving kids ages 0–12 in California

Schools are often the first place caregivers turn when their child is struggling. 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.

## A letter from the California State Superintendent

The California Department of Education (CDE), in collaboration with the California Health and Human Services Agency and the Department of Health Care Services, recognizes BrightLife Kids as an essential partner for schools. They not only approve of our program, but also encourage educators to promote our services and incorporate our high-quality behavioral health coaching into their existing wellness supports.
