BATON ROUGE – A new program will provide Louisiana's teachers and support staff with enhanced access to mental health care services, according to a recent announcement from The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE).
LDOE says it is partnering with Ochsner Health to launch a virtual therapy program that will facilitate free mental health virtual visits.
More than 166,000 public school educators and support staff statewide will have access to free mental health virtual visits through Ochsner Anywhere Care – an established telehealth platform in which patients can connect with a licensed mental/behavioral health provider via a secure video visit from their smartphone, tablet or personal computer.
