Holidays can sometimes disrupt students’ emotional well-being, but mental health support can provide the tools they need to stay resilient and thrive. Free online therapy for Chesterfield students in grades 6-12 continues even when schools are closed for winter break and holidays.
After completing the opt-in process for Hazel Health, families schedule telehealth sessions that occur at home. This connection can help students with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, social skills, bullying and more. It is important to note that Hazel Health does not replace emergency services.
In order for students to have access to this resource, parents must opt in via ParentVUE. Most school staff members will be out of the office during winter break (Dec. 22, 2025-Jan. 2, 2026), so parents should start the opt-in process no later than Dec. 17, 2025 to ensure their children can access online therapy sessions over winter break.
Use this simple process to get support for your child:
First, sign in to ParentVUE in order to opt in to Hazel Health. After you opt in, Chesterfield County Public Schools will share your information with Hazel Health (usually this happens within one business day). Here are instructions in English and Spanish to use ParentVUE to opt in.
Next, go to this Hazel Health page to create an account and complete the online consent.
Finally, schedule an enrollment call and your child’s first appointment with Hazel Health.
