Business Wire
Today, Talkspace (NASDAQ: TALK), a leading online behavioral
health care company, announced its partnership with the
Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), global advocates
for professional tennis players. Talkspace will serve as the PTPA’s
exclusive mental health technology partner, granting players, their
families, and their support teams free, 24/7 access to Talkspace’s
self-guided therapy app, Talkspace Go, as well as discounted access
to its virtual therapy offering.
“Talkspace is honored to join forces with the PTPA as its
exclusive mental health provider, dedicated to delivering
high-quality, evidence-based support where and when players need
it. This collaboration underscores our unwavering commitment to
promoting mental well-being and ensuring accessible, convenient
mental health resources for all,” said Natalie Cummins, Chief
Business Officer of Talkspace.
“Professional tennis players face unique challenges such as
constant travel, living out of a suitcase year-round, and managing
the pressures of an individual sport, making it difficult to
prioritize mental health,” said Ahmad Nassar, Executive Director of
the PTPA. “Through Talkspace we can now support players’ well-being
holistically and consistently – not just during tournaments, but
throughout the entire year. This is an important addition to our
PTPA Mental Fitness Program and our player health and wellness
services.”
Through this partnership, eligible professional tennis players
and their family members (13+) and support teams will receive one
year of free access to Talkspace Go, an online self-guided mental
health support program that offers personalized therapy courses and
live and on-demand virtual classes led by therapists. Players can
also sign up for individual, couples or teen therapy to connect
with their own dedicated, licensed therapist at any time, from
anywhere, and pay with insurance, or if paying out of pocket, they
will receive $100 off their first month.
Talkspace joins the PTPA’s growing suite of player health and
wellness services and benefits. Earlier in 2024, the PTPA unveiled
its groundbreaking medical network program, PTPA MedNet, and
launched its Mental Fitness Program in support of players’ on-court
mental strategy. The organization continues to introduce new
programs specifically designed to protect and advance players’
holistic health and safety as part of its overall mission to
safeguard players worldwide.
