Family Resources
The Family Resource Center
The FRC collaborates with schools and offers comprehensive student services that include short-term individual counseling and/ or small group counseling. They also work collaboratively with families to connect them to community resources, school-based services and parent education workshops. The services provided by FRC staff will be at no cost to students and families enrolled in a FRC school. No Medi-Cal or insurance is required to receive services.
Student Health Services
Students who attend schools in the Long Beach Unified School District are fortunate to have access to the services of a credentialed school nurse. Every school nurse is a registered nurse (R.N.) who strengthens and facilitates the educational process by improving and protecting the health status of children. The major focus of nursing services is the prevention of illness and disability, as well as the early detection and correction of health problems.
