Frequently Asked Questions
What Is MindRight?
MindRight Health provides daily coaching and support over text message for people who want to talk, judgment free. Coaches are trained to help young adults build skills to manage emotions, life changes, and stress.
Each day you are scheduled, a MindRight coach will check in with you over text message. You can then talk about anything you're going through, both positives and negatives. You get a team of coaches who stick with you over time, so they get to know you and work together to help you reach your goals in life.
Is It Free?
MindRight is fully covered by Amerihealth Caritas DC health insurance. So there is no cost to you if you have Amerihealth.
So are coaches like my personal therapist?
We want to emphasize that our coaches are NOT therapists or doctors. MindRight coaches are mental health professionals trained to provide coaching over text. In cases of emergency, call 911. If you're experiencing a clinical or long-term issue, see a medical professional.
Who Exactly Am I Talking To?
Coaches come from diverse backgrounds, all across the country. Some are young professionals, former teachers, community members, and social work graduate students. Although we are not therapists, coaches go through extensive training and all conversations are supervised by licensed clinicians.
What Can I Talk About?
Our coaches love to hear about you-- whether it’s struggles or good news, sharing an interest or casual chit-chat-- we’re here for you and whatever suits your needs. Many of our members talk to us about stress, family, school, trauma, relationships, grief, or personal goals.
If you’re not sure what to talk about, that’s okay! You can always let the coach know and they’ll take the lead in the conversation. If something comes up that you definitely want to talk about, just let them know and they’ll be happy to talk about that too.
Are you going to tell anyone what we talk about?
No. Everything we discuss is confidential and only team members of MindRight have access to these conversations. The only time we would have to break this is in the case of an emergency or if we feel your safety or someone else’s safety was at risk. If this does occur, we will let you know.
