New York, New York, Aug. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New York (NY) – Counslr, the text-based mental health support mobile app, announced today that it is partnering with numerous school districts across the country in anticipation of the 2024-25 school year. Since its founding in 2019, each of Counslr’s school partnerships have focused on empowering students and faculty to prioritize their mental well-being by enabling them to access unlimited texting sessions with Counslr’s licensed and vetted mental health support professionals, available on-demand or by appointment, 24/7/365.
“We are thrilled to partner with Counslr to provide our students and faculty with round-the-clock access to mental health support,” states Lisa Dursky, Principal at Crestwood High School, Cresco, IA. “As educators, we see firsthand the pressures that our community faces, and having a resource like Counslr available 24/7 is invaluable. This partnership underscores our commitment to the well-being of everyone in our school, ensuring they have the support they need to thrive academically and personally.”
The partnership with Crestwood High School is one of many schools that have expressed a growing need for additional mental health support in their school community. In fact, schools across the country launched or renewed with Counslr this summer to offer support to students and faculty when traditional support services are limited or unavailable and will continue through the 2024-25 school year.
In the last year alone, Counslr has added and renewed partnerships with dozens of schools, notably including:
Kane Area School District, Kane, Pennsylvania
Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Allentown School District, Allentown, Pennsylvania
Crestwood High School, Cresco, Iowa
Dearborn Heights District 7, Dearborn Heights, Michigan
Dunkirk City School District, Dunkirk, New York
East Side House Settlement, support for five NYC-area high schools
Smoky Hill Education Center, more than 50 school districts across Kansas
Timber Lake School District, Timber Lake, South Dakota
Bristol Warren Regional School District, Bristol & Warren, Rhode Island
“As the new school year begins for Kansas schools this month, we know it’s crucial to recognize that the mental well-being of both students and school staff members is critical to their success,” states Chris Moddelmog, Executive Director, Smoky Hill Education Service Center. “By prioritizing mental health and emotional well-being, we create an environment where everyone can learn and thrive. Smoky Hill Education Service Center is pleased to have a partner like Counslr supporting education in Kansas.”
In the coming months, several more schools are expected to join the platform, as administrators continue to see a clear connection between the access to mental health support, the well-being of their students and faculty, and that impact on their greater communities.
“Supporting students and faculty across the country in different locations with diverse populations clearly illustrates that mental health knows no boundaries,” said Josh Liss, CEO of Counslr. “All types of school communities are in need of mental health support more than ever, and we are thrilled to help make an impact as this next generation grows to be more resilient and live happier, healthier lives.”
