To this day, inequalities in our community persist. Black Americans are more likely to live below the poverty line than their white counterparts. They are less likely to have health insurance coverage leading to many not receiving necessary physical and mental health care.
Every day, the Black community continues to work diligently toward a brighter future for the next generations.
At Woodlynne School District, we believe every person has the right to equitable access to care. We partnered with Care Solace to support the well-being of our students, staff, and family members, regardless of circumstances.
If you or someone you know needs help with mental health or substance use challenges, Care Solace will help you navigate the process and find the best options. If you would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider:
Call 888-515-0595. Multilingual support is available 24/7/365.
Visit caresolace.com/woodlynne and either search on your own OR click "Book Appointment" for assistance by video chat, email, or phone.
Care Solace is a complimentary and confidential service provided by Woodlynne School District.
Through discussion and action, let's shine a light on the multiple facets of Black resistance and perseverance against all odds. There is so much to uncover, amplify, question, and correct, and while we continue to take action every day, we share with you the following words of wisdom:
"Turn your wounds into wisdom" - Oprah Winfrey
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress" - Frederick Douglass
"If you prioritize yourself, you are going to save yourself." - Gabrielle Union


We truly appreciate Ms. Neilson, Ms. Reyes, and Ms. Esters for all they do for our students. Your dedication, guidance, and care make a lasting difference in our school community. Thank you for supporting our students every day!
