Tom Brady, BetterHelp team up to give customers one month of free therapy sessions
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Tom Brady is partnering with online therapy platform BetterHelp to offer consumers one month of free therapy sessions.
The partnership, announced Friday, aims to "destigmatize seeking help and inspire individuals to prioritize their mental health alongside their physical well-being," according to a news release.
“I’ve been in therapy for 25 years and it has been a pivotal part of my health and mental resilience,” said Brady in the news release. “That’s why I’m so excited to make therapy more accessible to my entire community by partnering with BetterHelp to get people started on their own therapy journeys,” he said.
"Everyone deserves access to the life-changing benefits of therapy," said Danny Bragonier, co-founder of BetterHelp, in the news release. "We hope this partnership inspires many more people to start their own journeys towards better mental health."
