Counslr, the text-based mental health support mobile app, announced
today that it has expanded its support into the State of Rhode
Island through a partnership with the Bristol Warren Regional
School District. The partnership rolled out to first focus on
access to the Counslr app for the more than 500 faculty members,
which includes unlimited texting sessions with Counslr’s licensed
and vetted mental health support professionals, available
on-demand, 24/7/365. Students will soon have access to the app at
the start of the new 2024-25 school year.
“The need is great, and we are thrilled to begin working toward
a solution with the Counslr team. As we see a continued rise in the
need for mental health support, we are fully embracing the
opportunities that Counslr provides for both our faculty and
students,” said Ana Riley, Superintendent of Schools for the
Bristol Warren Regional School District. “Mental health support is
something we all could benefit from, no matter who we are –
students or faculty – and having access to Counslr’s 24/7/365
platform can indeed be the resource so many can access when they
most need to.”
The Counslr app was rolled out to all faculty in the District as
part of Teacher Appreciation Week, and by the beginning of the next
school year all students in the middle and high schools will also
have access to the app.
“We are thrilled to expand into Rhode Island and help faculty,
and soon students as well, as they prioritize mental health and the
well-being of the school district as a whole,” said Josh Liss, CEO
and co-founder of Counslr. “Working with school districts has
become a primary focus for the company, as we aim to help
communities across the country prioritize their well-being. We are
grateful to leaders such as those in the Bristol Warren Regional
School District who embrace the challenge and seek solutions to
help their community.”
