Mental health is an important matter, but some people don’t have access to the resources they need. At Checkable, we care about your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. If stress stresses you out, try our five tips on reducing and coping with it. But we know that some circumstances require more effort.

Individuals may struggle to seek a therapist or help because they prefer staying in the comfort of their own homes or receiving care without an in-person office visit. Good news: Telehealth options exist for mental health; you only need a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Here are some online resources for anyone seeking help or more information:
