| GoTo Telemed Launches National Mental Health Awareness ProgramBy: Go TO TELEMED The program has three core pillars: 1. 988 Crisis Lifeline Education – A national campaign – "No Shame. No Silence. Call 988" – addresses that 71% of Americans are unaware of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. GoTo Telemed distributes digital toolkits, posters, and ID card templates to workplaces, schools, and community organizations. 2. Stigma‑Reduction Training – All GoTo Telemed providers complete an accredited CME module on destigmatizing language, culturally competent mental health conversations, and motivational interviewing to encourage treatment engagement. 3. Low‑Barrier Virtual Therapy – Patients can schedule same‑day, confidential video therapy with licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers for anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, ADHD, and perinatal mental health. Self‑guided digital therapeutics are also available. The program aligns with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) , and GoTo Telemed's billing tools help patients access parity protections. "Mental health is a public health emergency," said a GoTo Telemed spokesperson. "We are making mental health care a routine part of overall health – through awareness, training, and immediate virtual access." The program is available immediately nationwide. Most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid in participating states, are accepted.
