Greetings Goddard Families,
NYC Teenspace is a program—offered by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and powered by Talkspace—that provides any NYC teen aged 13–17 with virtual therapy with a licensed therapist, at no cost. NYC Teenspace has recently reported the early positive impacts of the program. The NYC Teenspace program has been hosting regular webinars for both parents/guardians and schools. The next webinar, Supporting Student Mental Health During the Summer, will be held at 1:00 p.m. on June 20. NYC Teenspace will share early learnings and the NYC Teenspace Summer Calendar of Events. This webinar is open to school staff and parents/guardians and will cover:
- Initial successes of the program, including how many teens have enrolled, zip codes most represented, and other demographic information;
- Summer activities to promote mental health across the city; and
- Opportunities to be shared with students/teens on how they can get involved with NYC Teenspace this summer.
To register for the webinar. For more information on NYC Teenspace, review these FAQs and flyers (translations available) for staff and families.
