Supporting Mental Health with Alliance Health: A Complete Path to Care

Mental health challenges are on the rise, especially among teens and young adults. According to the CDC’s most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 53% of teen girls, 28% of teen boys, and 65% of LGBTQ+ teens reported feeling “persistently sad or hopeless” in 2023. These numbers highlight just how critical mental health support has become for families across the country.

With Alliance Health, members gain access to a complete path to mental health care through Teladoc Health. This benefit ensures that support is always within reach, offering tools and resources that make it easier to take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Why Mental Health Support Matters

Academic pressures, social expectations, and the challenges of today’s world are taking a toll on mental well-being. Sadly, suicide was the third-leading cause of death among people ages 15 to 19 in 2023. The need for accessible, stigma-free mental health care has never been greater.

Alliance Health bridges this gap by providing:

• 24/7 access to licensed professionals for counseling and therapy through Teladoc.
  
• Virtual visits so care is always convenient and private.
  
• Support for families to recognize signs of struggle and start meaningful conversations.
  

How Families Can Support Teens

The Teladoc resource kit highlights key steps families can take to promote better mental health:

• Encourage healthy sleep, nutrition, and exercise habits.
  
• Celebrate hobbies and positive social networks.
  
• Help with time management and relaxation techniques.
  
• Set realistic expectations for academic and extracurricular performance.
  
• Talk openly about mental health to reduce stigma.
  

These everyday actions, combined with access to professional care, can make a life-changing difference.
