The partnership is part of connectRN’s first Mental Health Week,
which will focus on resources for nurses
With Talkspace, nurses will be able to receive the mental health
help they deserve on their own schedule
connectRN Inc., a tech-enabled network that connects nurses and
aides with opportunities to improve their work life through career
development resources, flexible shift offerings, and a community of
peer professionals, announced their partnership with Talkspace as
the signature component of its first Mental Health Week. This
partnership marries the leader in online therapy with a critical
community of nursing professionals to bring online therapy to
well-deserving nurses and aides. With Talkspace, nurses can get
matched with a licensed therapist online within 24 hours. Nurses
can connect with their therapist daily via text or set up meetings
based on their schedule and needs.
The nursing community is experiencing unprecedented exhaustion
and burnout from pressures of COVID-19, vaccination mandates, and
nursing shortages. Earlier this year, a study conducted by The
Washington Post and Kaiser Family Foundation found that six in ten
healthcare workers said the pandemic had burned them out. To help
address burnout and other mental health issues nurses are
struggling with as a result of the pandemic, connectRN and
Talkspace are giving community members one month of Talkspace for
free and offering a discount code to all nurses and aides on the
connectRN platform. The offer can be found here.
“Our ability to deliver the right opportunities, on their terms,
in a supportive and nurturing environment is what we believe to be
the future of healthcare,” said Ted Jeanloz, CEO of connectRN.
“Talkspace is an ideal partner to provide our nurses with the
support they deserve at a time when they need it most. Through this
partnership, we can equip nurses and aides with a new resource that
empowers them to confront mental health challenges.”
Community is critical in nursing, as they have often been left
behind in an industry facing unprecedented pressure. While feeling
overworked has always been a problem for nurses and aides, it
reached monumental proportions over the last year, particularly as
the pandemic has shed new light on the insufficient physical and
mental health resources available to nurses.
“Talkspace is proud to announce our collaboration with
connectRN. The pandemic has undeniably impacted the nursing
community and their loved ones in profound ways. This partnership
will provide invaluable mental health access to the nursing
community by establishing a clear path to mental health resources,”
said Lauren Friedrich, VP of Partnerships, Talkspace. “Direct
access to the Talkspace network of clinical experts will be
transformational for those who need it now more than ever:
nurses.”
