MeMd - Teen Therapy Handout

The Shortfall
››
A national shortage of
mental health workers
creates major barriers for
employees seeking care
for their kids.
››
At least 85% of youth in
need of treatment do
not get it, according to
a national study in the
International Journal of
Health Services.
››
Poor access to care can
have a dire outcome.
The CDC reports suicide
is the second-leading
cause of death among
adolescents 12-17 and in
college-aged youth.
Research consistently
shows that parents of
children with mental
health issues experience
psychological distress.
In the workplace, these
employees are often
worried, exhausted,
depleted and distracted.
The MeMD Solution
Our teen teletherapy program gives employees access to
the mental healthcare their children need – and gives your
staff the peace of mind they crave.
››
National network of state-licensed, NCQA-credentialed mental
health providers specializing in child and adolescent therapy.
››
Teletherapists treat depression, anxiety, body image concerns,
eating disorders, bullying, peer conflict, drug and alcohol use,
self-harm behaviors and other common adolescent issues.
››
Parents can connect their children to a therapist in as few as
24 hours. This is critical for kids in need.

more comfortable with video vs. in-person visits.
