New Nonprofit Member Benefit from BetterHelp

New Nonprofit Member Benefit from BetterHelpLooking for real ways to support your team?

UNA is thrilled to announce our newest member benefit with BetterHelp. Starting in June, UNA’s nonprofit members—including all staff, board members, and official volunteers—will have access to convenient and professional therapy online.

BetterHelp is the world’s leading online therapy platform with over 25,000 therapists across the U.S., services in 50+ languages, and support in over 200 countries. BetterHelp offers access to licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists (PhD / PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers (LCSW / LMSW), and board licensed professional counselors (LPC). UNA members will be able to access individual, couples, and teen therapy services on the platform.

The partnership we have arranged will give everyone one month of free therapy (up to 4 live sessions) with a therapist who is specifically assigned based on individual preferences. You can communicate with your therapist via phone, video and live chat, plus you can message your therapist whenever you’d like.

To access this incredible resource, we ask that nonprofit members update their organization’s contacts in Member Central, under View Membership Details.  Once updated, you will receive an email from contact@betterhelp.com, which contains the link to get started. If you don't receive an email, please contact us.
