The Bright SideThe City of Seattle is expanding virtual therapy and mental health services for young people! 🧠✨ #MentalHealth #Seattle
City leaders have partnered with Talkspace to provide free services for anyone aged 13 to 24. This comes after a $14.55 million investment from the city and Seattle Public Schools. #YouthSupport #CommunitySafety
The program allows teens to sign up at https://talkspace.com/seattle, getting matched with a licensed provider in WA and having access to one video session per month! #OnlineTherapy #AccessibleCare
Participants can also use the Talkspace Go app for a self-guided mental health program and message their therapist anytime. 💬 #TherapySupport #MentalWellness
Chris Alejano, from the city’s education department, highlights that everyone is on their phones, making this app a great tool for accessing support. #DigitalHealth #YouthMentalHealth
Mayor Bruce Harrell emphasized the importance of removing barriers to mental health services to help young people thrive. The city plans to expand telehealth providers later this month! 🌱 #MentalHealthMatters #CommunityCare
