Educational Programs
Educational programs are designed to be educational in nature (not therapy or treatment) and offer lower-cost opportunities to learn and practice life skills related to emotional well-being.
Educational programs may be led by either our licensed therapists or other staff members who are not licensed mental healthcare professionals.
Programs in this category do not serve as or substitute for therapeutic intervention and costs of these program consequently do not qualify as an eligible expense for insurance reimbursement.
