Mental health text service extends reach in Charlotte, Pasco schools

Tampa mental health platform Cope Notes, which delivers text messages that foster emotional resilience and mental well-being, has extended its partnership with the Central Florida Behavioral Health Network to provide mental health services for school districts in Pasco, Charlotte and DeSoto counties.

This collaboration, according to a statement, aims to make mental health resources more accessible to youth and adults, “empowering thousands with anonymous daily support.” It is available to faculty, staff, and students, and CFBHN is offering Cope Notes subscriptions at no cost to the districts, “marking a significant step towards addressing the growing mental health needs of Florida’s education system,” the release adds.

To date, this collaboration has distributed more than 1,000 subscriptions, with thousands more being made available across more than 100 schools this spring semester.
