The number of U.S. students with access to virtual mental health support has skyrocketed over the last year. Thirteen of the nation’s 20 largest districts have added teletherapy since the pandemic began, expanding access to hundreds of thousands of students.

The rise of teletherapy is a reflection of the intense pressure schools are under to address a youth mental health crisis that shows no sign of waning. The services offer a way to reach more students.

Some of the most innovative companies in the healthcare space right now have found success by catering to communities that have been left behind by an entrenched system—one that has failed to adequately serve the most marginalized patients in the U.S.

Fairfax County school district rolled out a big effort in April to help schools treat the mental health needs of students at no cost.

A new partnership between county agencies, health plans, and a telehealth provider aims to expand access to telemental healthcare for over 1 million children attending LA County public schools.

FCPS said they have partnered with Hazel Health to help eliminate barriers to quality mental health care services for all high school students.

Virginia’s largest school system will be offering free virtual mental health services to all high school students.

Hazel Health was recently named a 2023 Best Startup Employer by Forbes.
