- As School-Based Health Care Awareness Month continues, Let's Talk Interactive has developed systems that proactively identify at-risk students and link them to support services that address their needs.
- Studies by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services show that the COVID-19 pandemic greatly increased rates of mental health issues in children and teenagers and amplified the need for counseling and support services.
- Children diagnosed with the illness were nearly 30% more likely to develop a mental health condition, increasing the need for schools to provide counseling assistance, the agency found.
- "At a time when we are more focused on than ever the physical and mental needs of children, Let's Talk Interactive is building on its track record of helping schools give students the healthcare access they need," said Arthur Cooksey, founder and CEO of Let's Talk Interactive.
