Student Retention Financial Benefits

The rate of virtual mental health treatment among college students increased from 19% in 2007 to 34% in 2017, indicating a growing demand for these services.

Students who use telehealth services can avoid costs related to transportation, childcare, and missed work.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that telepsychiatry services were associated with a 38% reduction in the cost of mental health care compared to in-person care.
