As educators, we understand the importance of ensuring every student has access to the mental health support they need to thrive.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Hazel Health to break down barriers to care, offering bilingual therapy in over 30 languages – at no cost to families. Any student at Riverside can connect with a licensed therapist who understands their culture and language, regardless of immigration status.
In therapy, students gain essential tools to succeed both in school and in life, including:
✓ Improving communication
✓ Building confidence
✓ Enhancing coping skills
✓ Fostering healthy relationships
