Talkspace is available at no cost for all West Virginia University students (WVU Morgantown, WVU Tech, WVU Potomac State and WVU Online). Users also have the option to receive two 30-minute live video sessions with their Talkspace therapist, each month. There is no open enrollment period and registration is open year-round. Check out the app store preview video for Talkspace and when you are ready to sign up and begin online therapy, simply enter your WVU MIX email address at talkspace.com/wvu . You do not need to contact Carruth Center to access or use Talkspace

Talkspace communication is confidential and secure. No one at the University (or anywhere else) will know who uses the service or for what purpose.

As the holiday season approaches, we understand that it can be a challenging time for many. December often brings a mix of emotions, and feelings of loneliness or stress can become more pronounced during this period.

At Talkspace, we want to ensure that our community has the necessary support and resources available. This month, our focus will be on addressing feelings of loneliness and navigating holiday-related stress.

We invite you to spread the word within your community about the specific focus this month—dealing with loneliness and managing holiday stress. Here's how we're working on these challenges:
● Specialized Therapist Support: Our therapists are equipped to help navigate feelings of loneliness and stress associated with the holiday season. They're available to offer guidance and support to anyone feeling overwhelmed.
