Tied to every absence are worried parents, affected siblings, concerned teachers, and disrupted classroom environments — especially if attendance is affected for a sustained period of time.  There is a story behind every empty desk. Together, we can rewrite it for your students. ![Desk Illustration](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/7Jhkr8k7IUjVdtrQfFhK0l/551c5a9ad6b6b92a250c7f271d3df306/BLK_Chronic_Absenteeism_Part_A_Newsletter_Image.png) - [Download all assets (zip)](/download/5xK9efK5qkvVdWke4AfSNP/Chronic%20Absenteeism%20Assets.zip) ## Bring no-cost behavioral health support to families in your community **For Community Partners** In partnership with the State of California, Brightline created BrightLife Kids to bring behavioral health coaching to every family with kids ages 0–12.
