What our partners are saying

 

 

“During this time of COVID when our counselors had to move into distance counseling, My SSP was critical because some of our students were getting face to face therapy and didn’t have a wifi connection but did have cell phone access. The strength of My SSP is that students could get real-time, personal chat support.”
Michael LaFarr, PsyD, University of Denver
"Your counseling center staff will never truly reflect the student body because it's so diverse...so that’s what's particularly nice about this program [My SSP] because it allows students to access support from folks from their particular culture, which | really think is probably one of the biggest barriers to that help-seeking behavior that we try to promote.”
The Jed Foundation
“My SSP allows us to provide 24/7/365 'wrap around’ mental health care for our entire student body.”
Sarah Lawrence College
