How to access free TalkSpace services

Students 13 and older can access this free service by logging into talkspace.com/RSD using their Renton School District email address (either gmail or outlook).  From there, follow the prompts.

All care through TalkSpace is delivered through a private and secure digital platform (iOS/Android/Web), so students can send their personal therapists private text messages, anytime, or attend a video appointment, from anywhere. Therapists message no less than twice per day via text, voice, or video. Talkspace has many options— including self-help tools and education—to support the needs of teens.
