Dear SAU 90 Staff and Families, 

I am pleased to share that we will continue to offer resources to support mental health and wellness for the 2026-2027 school year.  ParentGuidance.org is free to all staff, caring adults/parents, and families in our district. 

ParentGuidance.org is a service developed by licensed therapists which provides trusted and specialized courses, professional support, and a safe community to learn how to support our children and get answers to mental health questions. Our hope is that ParentGuidance.org will give parents/caring adults a place to go for answers to support and help their children struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, bullying, grief and family strife, just to name a few, as well as provide tools to form stronger bonds between caring adults and their children. There are over 50 e-courses, free to families and staff, which are led by licensed therapists as well as an ask-a-therapist section on the website.  

We are also offering Parent Coaching and the Mental Health Series to all families and staff. Parent coaching is a confidential service provided to parents, staff, and families, and the series provides varying events for families to learn. 

Parents/caring adults can anonymously join an Ask a Therapist LIVE, one-hour workshop with a licensed therapist who has expertise in youth mental health. The therapist will directly answer parents’ questions during the session. 

View additional ParentGuidance.org information on the district website.  Should you have further questions, please reach out to our district mental health team or me.

Kindest Regards,

Dr. Lois Costa

Superintendent
