Telement is known as the telehealth provider for Florida schools and nonprofits. Our work with nonprofits provides a safe and compassionate environment for youth to receive professional help through their organization. We are proud to be able to offer this service to nonprofits in Florida with the goal of reducing barriers and increasing access to youth mental health services, and we are excited to be teaming up with Easterseals Southwest Florida.
Who is Easterseals Southwest Florida
Easterseals Southwest Florida has provided support for our community for nearly 75 years. They offer high-quality care for children, youth, and adults with disabilities, including therapy services, employment services, autism services, family support services, transportation, and more. Easterseals embraces a world where differences shine, and we love that.
Easterseals Southwest Florida is committed to being a leader in special needs services and a place where members of the community can turn to for resources and support. Telement is committed to supporting Easterseals as they focus on their goal of creating a world where each child born with a disability is given the support they need to enjoy and thrive in life.
Telement’s Work With Easterseals
Telement partners with nonprofits to address youth emotional and mental health needs with professional guidance and teletherapy support. Our services begin with a 90-minutes virtual caregiver coaching session, which we’ve modified for the Easterseals community. After listening to the needs of Easterseals Southwest Florida, we redesigned our 90-Minute Virtual Wellness Check to create a 90-minute caregiver coaching session. This caregiver coaching session is meant to support parents/guardians while they navigate how to support the needs of their children who may be wired differently than their peers. Our partnership with Easterseals will be the first with which staff are also offered Wellness Check-Ins. We also offer ongoing teletherapy services where necessary and are working closely with Easterseals on potential future training opportunities.
With youth mental health needs skyrocketing, Telement’s partnership with Easterseals Southwest Florida is meant to provide more youth with the mental health support they need. The U.S. Surgeon General recently came out with a rare public advisory on the youth mental health emerging crisis in our country. Telement and our partnerships with nonprofits fully embody his call to action for organizations to create accessible and seamless mental health support for school-aged children.
Easterseals Southwest Florida services more than 1,300 clients and their families every year, and we are honored to be able to support them in 2022 and beyond.
