“Did You Know? Daybreak Health Supports Soledad Students”-
Real Talk. Real Help. Daybreak Health for Soledad Students and Families
Hi Soledad! Did you know our school district partners with Daybreak Health to give students and families access to mental-health support?
That’s right! Daybreak offers two kinds of support:
- Virtual Family Therapy for students in grades 5–12, and
- Virtual 1:1 Individual Therapy for students 12 years and older.
What Daybreak Helps With–Real Support for Real Challenges
Daybreak clinicians help with many challenges students face—like anxiety, worries, sadness, grief, trouble focusing, sleep issues, and school avoidance.
They also support students with big emotions, conflict, tantrums, relationship challenges, aggression, and blended-family or co-parenting issues. Daybreak is here for real-life situations that affect school and daily life.
How Family Therapy Works…Support for the whole family
Family therapy brings students and parents together with a licensed clinician who teaches strategies to support the child’s needs. Sessions are virtual, confidential, and available Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 8 PM.
Because Soledad Unified partners with Daybreak, services are low-cost or even free, depending on your insurance and district support.
How 1:1 Individual Therapy Works (Ages 12+)...Your Space.. Your Voice
Daybreak also offers virtual 1:1 therapy for students 12 and older. You meet privately with your own clinician online.
Just like family therapy, individual therapy is available Monday through Saturday, from 8 AM to 8 PM, including evenings and Saturdays to fit students’ schedules.
How to Sign Up? Ready to get support?
Getting started is easy—just use the QR code below to submit a care request.
Or you can contact your school or the district office if you want more information about Daybreak services.
Because Every Student Matters
Mental health matters—no matter what you’re going through.
Soledad Unified is here to support you, and Daybreak is one more way we care for our students and families.
If you need help, reach out. You’re not alone!
“¿Sabías que? Daybreak Health Apoya a los Estudiantes de Soledad”
¡Hola Soledad! ¿Sabías que nuestro distrito escolar se ha asociado con Daybreak Health para ofrecer apoyo de salud mental a estudiantes y familias?
Así es. Daybreak ofrece dos tipos de servicios:
- Terapia familiar virtual para estudiantes de los grados 5 al 12, y
- Terapia individual 1:1 virtual para estudiantes de 12 años en adelante.
Lo que Daybreak ayuda a resolver: apoyo real para desafíos reales
Los clínicos de Daybreak brindan apoyo con ansiedad, preocupaciones, tristeza, duelo, problemas de concentración, dificultades con el sueño y evitar la escuela.
También ayudan con emociones intensas, conflictos, rabietas, desafíos en relaciones, agresión y situaciones de crianza compartida o familias mixtas. Daybreak apoya los retos reales que impactan la vida escolar y familiar.
Cómo funciona la terapia familiar… apoyo para toda la familia
En la terapia familiar, un clínico trabaja con el estudiante y sus padres para aprender cómo apoyar mejor al niño. Las sesiones son virtuales, confidenciales y disponibles de lunes a sábado, de 8 a. m. a 8 p. m.
Gracias a la asociación entre Daybreak y Soledad Unified, estos servicios pueden ser de bajo costo o incluso gratuitos, dependiendo del seguro.
Cómo funciona la terapia individual 1:1 (edades 12+)… Tu espacio. Tu voz.
Daybreak también ofrece terapia individual 1:1 virtual para estudiantes de 12 años en adelante.
Al igual que la terapia familiar, la terapia individual está disponible de lunes a sábado, de 8 a. m. a 8 p. m., incluyendo tardes y los sábados para ajustarse al horario de los estudiantes.
¿Cómo inscribirse? ¿Listo(a) para recibir apoyo?
Para comenzar, simplemente usa el código QR que aparece abajo para enviar una solicitud de atención.

Porque cada estudiante importa
