New Resource! Teen Talk Space

We are excited to share this invaluable resource funded by the NYC Health Department, called Teenspace, powered by Talkspace!

Talkspace is designed to support the well-being of teens ages 13 to 17. This innovative program gives teens access to therapists, mental health resources and a whole lot more, and it's completely free! 

Talkspace offers a safe and confidential space for teens to connect with licensed therapists using convenient digital channels such as messaging, video sessions, and live chats. "The platform aims to empower adolescents, providing them with a platform to discuss their concerns, navigate challenges, and strengthen their mental wellness".

An innovative technology called Talkspace Go, is self-directed and app-based. It is designed specifically to increase teens mental and emotional well being through a guided therapy program, with reflection prompts and interactive topical classes.This user friendly interface provides easy access.

Should you require any further information or have inquiries about the implementation of  Talkspace, please don't hesitate to reach out to your teen’s designated school counselor. 

We see the direct impact mental health issues have on our teens and families and have deep concerns about NYC teens and families that lack access to care, due to the high costs of treatment and other impediments. Our values and mission align with this community resource that substantially bridges this gap.
