Social impact
Our social impact program is committed to making therapy equitable and accessible to under-resourced communities and individuals in need.
What drives us:
Increasing equitable access
Reducing stigma
Providing support in crisis
Our continued impact
Given in discounts and financial aid to cover therapy costs for low-income individuals
Free months of therapy donated to communities in need
Disaster and crisis relief
In the wake of natural disasters and crisis situations worldwide, BetterHelp shares resources and provides impacted communities and individuals with free mental health care and support.
Partners and community
To further our mission, BetterHelp partners with over 100 impactful non-profit organizations, to donate free therapy to a variety of under-resourced communities and break down barriers to accessing therapy for people in need.
Celebrity and pro athlete awareness initiatives
To destigmatize mental healthcare and raise awareness about available resources, we teamed up with entertainment megastars and sports icons who share our passion for mental health. In collaboration with these partners, we donated millions of dollars in free therapy to communities in need. Our ongoing joint initiatives and campaigns are focused on increasing affordable access to mental healthcare for anyone who struggles with life’s challenges.
Featured celebrity partner campaigns:The Future of Mental Health Scholarship
As part of our mission to make high-quality mental health care accessible and affordable for anyone in need, BetterHelp is investing in the future of mental healthcare providers through our scholarship program: the Future of Mental Health Scholarship.
This program calls upon emerging scholars in this space to share their stories and passion for mental health in order for us to support and empower their impact on the field.
Our fund currently awards 10 college students studying psychology or related fields with $10,000 towards their education.

Thoughts from our scholars
- This BetterHelp Future of Mental Health Scholarship is a motivational factor for me, and a fundamental reassurance that the work for mental healthcare access especially in underserved communities is essential to global advancements. I am highly inspired to be chosen because it is not just an individual honor to me, but a collective stride for the communities I represent.- John Amhanesi
- I deeply appreciate this scholarship because it allows me to pursue my dream of becoming a culturally responsive, community mental health clinical psychologist. I want to be able to give back to the Filipinx/Asian American and immigrant community in order to promote my community's mental welfare and highlight their strength, resilience, and sense of belonging. As a Filipina American immigrant myself, this is a wonderful opportunity to continue pursuing my desire to help my own community, as well as other communities who may also need accessible and valuable mental health resources. Thank you so much for your support in my graduate education and developing career!- Melisse Claireneth Liwag
