Free Therapy Initiative
Project Blackbird is partnering with Talkspace to provide free therapy for all college student audiences.
How do I bring free therapy to the students and youth in my community?
PROJECT BLACKBIRD Inc. partners with schools, colleges, and communities nationwide to expand free access to therapy through immersive mental health programming — made possible through our FREE Therapy Initiative with Talkspace.
By hosting a PROJECT BLACKBIRD program in your city, school, or university, you are not only bringing a powerful mental health experience to your community — you are directly unlocking a full year of free therapy for participating students.
How it works
PROJECT BLACKBIRD delivers an on-site or campus-based mental health program that includes:
– A short narrative film grounded in lived experience
– A moderated panel with athletes, artists, or mental health advocates
– An anonymous journaling exchange to encourage reflection and dialogue
– A curated resource fair featuring local and national mental health providers
Through our national partnership with Talkspace, students ages 18 and over who attend a PROJECT BLACKBIRD event receive access to online therapy at no cost for an entire year.
What students receive
Eligible students gain access to:
– Unlimited secure messaging with a licensed therapist
– One live video session per month
– The ability to communicate via text, voice, or video — anytime, anywhere
– A fully confidential, HIPAA-compliant therapy experience
– Students receive a unique registration code at the event and can sign up when they are ready. No usage data is shared with the school or PROJECT BLACKBIRD — privacy is always protected.
Why this matters
Hosting PROJECT BLACKBIRD means:
– Reducing barriers to mental health care
– Normalizing help-seeking behavior
Connecting students to real, ongoing support — not just a one-time event
It is a turnkey way to bring free therapy and meaningful mental health resources directly to your community.
