Philly HopeLine
Beginning May 11th, the District is introducing an additional mental health support for students and families. We have partnered with Uplift-The Center for Grieving Children to create a mental health support helpline for students and families.
We are calling the helpline, The Philly HopeLine
This service will be available:
- Monday- Friday: 12:00pm to 9:00pm
- Saturday- Sunday: 12:00pm- 4:00pm
Support will be available by phone/text at 1-833-PHL-HOPE (1-833-745-4673)
The service will allow students and families to speak with clinicians by video and by phone. If students and families call outside the window of operation, they will have the option of leaving a message and will be provided with a crisis phone number in case of an emergency.
