Let’s be real, college can be a rollercoaster. Between classes, work and life in general, things can get pretty overwhelming. ‘tbh’ (To Be Honest), Delta College’s new virtual mental health resource is offered for free to help students navigate the ups and downs in their life.
Students can tackle stress from finals, family drama or just figuring out what they want out of life, through ‘tbh.’
Getting started is easy: simply log into the MyDelta dashboard, click the tbh icon, answer a few quick questions about yourself and you’re in!
After completing the simple sign-up process, students can immediately start exploring the various options available through tbh.
With tbh’s 1:1 coaching, students can connect with therapists for regular virtual check-ins tailored to their individual needs. For those seeking group support, tbh also offers virtual sessions with a small group of peers from Delta and other colleges. Additionally, students can explore tbh’s fun and helpful mental health content, a toolkit that includes quizzes, blogs and tips created by real therapists.
Whether looking for individual support or wanting to connect with peers who share similar experiences, students will find a group they can relate to. And the best part? No insurance, no fees and everything is kept confidential.
To give an idea of how well tbh is being received, Delta’s Director of Marketing and Communications, Alex Breitler, shared some impressive statistics: “A total of 2,319 students have signed up for tbh. Of those 2,319 students, a total of 958 have participated in coaching sessions (either as an individual, or in a group), 82 students have used tbh for therapy, and 1,288 have used it to access resources through a tbh’s toolkit,” he said in an email interview.
This positive reception is reflected in the feedback from students like Santasia McLaren who shared “I haven’t tried it yet but love the idea. “I’m really busy with school, work and being a mom, so being able to connect with a therapist online and on my own time is huge. Plus, it’s free? That’s definitely the best part.”
The convenience and accessibility of tbh seems to resonate with students who are juggling multiple responsibilities.
Angel Reynolds, a psychology major, is also looking forward to giving tbh a shot. “Mental health is so important, especially with everything going on in the world right now. The fact that we have access to this kind of support without having to pay for it or even leave home is a big deal,”said Reynolds.
For students interested in exploring tbh, support is accessible. If you have any questions or need assistance, you can reach the tbh team via email at hello@tbh.us or by texting 415.895.3932.
