Teletherapy Mental Health Services
Richland Community College has partnered with two organizations, META and TimelyCare, to provide an array of mental health services to students. Read more about each one below.
META
We have partnered with META, a teletherapy platform for mental wellness and help with depression issues, to provide students with confidential and easy access to mental wellness providers. Choose your counselor. Connect whenever and wherever works for you, from the privacy of your phone. With META you’re in control.
META is a mobile app that delivers easy access to private and confidential counseling services – when and how you want.
The META app includes:
- Access to licensed providers of your choice
- Video, phone, and chat counseling
- Payment by insurance or out-of-pocket
- Completely private interactions
META provides articles, videos and other content created just for college students. It also allows you to connect with a provider of your choice, in total privacy. All you would have to do is download the app, identify an Illinois provider of your choosing, and inform them that you are a current student of Richland Community College.
Even if you don’t need help today, we’ve got your back if you ever do.
