BetterHelp launched The Permission Project, a therapist-developed initiative partnered with Sophia Bush that provides a Rewrite Guide, 10,000 hours of free therapy and a $100,000 investment in therapists focused on women’s mental health. The program is based on research identifying social tensions—like being ambitious but likeable—that correlate with rising anxiety and depression among women and offers actionable steps to counter them. Bush, who contributed to the project, emphasizes systemic causes of women's unrecognized labor and the need for cultural change alongside individual support. » Mere på forbes.com
