Chester Area School District 39-1 -

You know your child better than anyone, and we see how you show up for them every single day. We also know that parenting comes with its own pressure. That's why we're excited to share a free resource available to your family all year long, including over the summer.
We're pleased to announce our partnership with ParentGuidance.org, a trusted online platform offering free, confidential mental health support and education for parents and caregivers. Mental health support doesn't stop when school does, and neither does this resource.
Here's what your family has access to:

On-Demand Courses Video content led by licensed therapists and mental health experts covering topics like anxiety, depression, social media, grief, and parenting challenges. Watch on your own time, at your own pace.

Ask a Therapist Anonymously submit questions and receive answers from licensed clinicians. Browse more than 200 previously asked questions and answers anytime, or join the live monthly session to ask questions and get answers in real time. No camera or mic required.

Parent Coaching: Connect virtually with a certified cognitive-behavioral coach for personalized, one-on-one support, including confidential video-based calls. With 24/7 messaging and responses within 48 hours, coaches help you set goals, track progress, and stay encouraged in a private, supportive space. Coaching is HIPAA compliant, and nothing discussed is ever shared with the school.

Mental Health Series An online catalog of 30+ topics, including bullying, emotional regulation, anxiety, and more. Access live events, on-demand videos, articles, and quick takeaways designed to meet your family where you are.

No insurance, referral, or diagnosis required. Just visit ParentGuidance.org, and start exploring.
We believe healthy students begin with healthy families. This partnership is part of our continued commitment to the whole child, academically, socially, and emotionally, and we want to make sure your family stays supported all summer long.
