BetterHelp launched Motherhood With You, a maternal mental health campaign featuring a three-part YouTube series and a commitment to donate more than 100,000 hours of therapy to women across the U.S. Hosted by perinatal mental health specialist Sonni Williams, LPC, PMH-C, the series explored the emotional realities of expecting mothers, parents of children and teens and empty nesters.
The campaign also included a sports-driven activation in which BetterHelp pledged to donate 10 hours of therapy for every assist recorded by the Dallas Wings, Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty throughout May. Partnerships with the nonprofits March of Dimes and Baby2Baby unlocked up to 125,000 additional therapy hours, while podcast personalities including Becca Tobin, Abby Wambach and Julie Foudy helped amplify the initiative.
