Summary
Talkspace is collaborating with the U.S. Navy to launch a pilot program offering free virtual mental health services to around 25,000 sailors and their dependents at six naval bases, including Newport News and Puget Sound. This initiative allows eligible participants, including sailors and dependents aged 13 and older, to access unlimited messaging therapy, live video sessions, and a self-guided mental health program via Talkspace’s licensed providers. The services are available on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to ensure user confidentiality.
