North Carolina DHHS Partners With Hazel Health To Provide Virtual Mental Health Services For K-12 Students

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) partnered with Hazel Health to provide virtual mental health services for the state’s elementary and secondary students, from kindergarten through 12th grade, in participating school districts. The initiative is funded through an investment by UnitedHealthcare.

The program will initially be available in Harnett County Schools and Durham Public Schools, with additional districts to be added in the coming weeks. The state anticipates that when the program is fully deployed, nearly 400,000 students, representing nearly 30% of the state’s elementary and secondary students, will have access to Hazel . . .
