Social-first media campaign elevates members’
stories about the positive impact that therapy can have on people’s
lives
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Talkspace (NASDAQ:
TALK) – the leading online behavioral health company – kicked off
their ‘Celebrate Every Step’ campaign in partnership with
Michael Phelps to raise awareness for the positive outcomes of
therapy.
The ‘Celebrate Every Step’ campaign highlights Talkspace members
sharing their authentic stories about the ways therapy has helped
them become healthier and happier.
For decades, many Americans have avoided seeking mental health
support, fearing the negative stigmas attached to therapy, or due
to the many barriers that exist to receiving care. But the times
seem to be changing: a new survey that Talkspace conducted of its
community indicates that more people are talking candidly about
mental health, with 81% of respondents reporting that they believe
people are more open to going to therapy than they were
pre-pandemic, and 65% of respondents reporting that they’re more
likely to discuss their mental health with friends than they
were pre-pandemic.
“Therapy helped save my life,” said Michael Phelps.
“Prioritizing my mental health has given me the chance to become a
better version of myself – from improving communication skills to
changing negative emotions. I’m excited to help support Talkspace’s
‘Celebrate Every Step’ campaign, as it recognizes people who are
courageously sharing their experiences with therapy, which further
breaks the stigmas surrounding mental health care and encourages
help-seeking behavior.”
“This Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to show examples
of tools people have taken from therapy to make progress in their
own lives. By spotlighting stories from our members, we hope to
demonstrate the depth and dimension of what therapy can do,” said
Katelyn Watson, Chief Marketing Officer, Talkspace. “And
seeing our own members eager to talk about their experiences in
therapy, to us, represents a true shift in societal
perceptions.”
