Trainwreckstv launches community mental healthcare program to provide free therapy sessions

Twitch streamer Tyler "Trainwreckstv" made a comeback after an 18-day long hiatus and revealed a partnership with the Rise Above The Disorder (@YouAreRAD) NGO to provide free mental healthcare for the streaming community.

The streamer wrote a 1,300-word long TwitLonger post earlier today, explaining how the initiative worked.

According to the post, Trainwreckstv has become the first streamer to donate $350,000, which will cover the cost of the first 12,000 sessions:

"Helping to bring Trainwreckstv's vision to life, we collaborated with Trainwreck to launch the Community Care Program. With a generous donation of $350,000 USD (roughly 12,000 therapy sessions) to his community, we are honored to have Trainwreckstv be the first creator in this program and pioneer a new way that creators can give back to their communities."

Content creators who want to be a part of the free mental healthcare program can donate or fundraise for the cost of the therapy sessions:

"Creators who are interested in being a part of the Community Care Program have the option to either donate or fundraise the cost of therapy sessions. Creators will only be fundraising or donating for sessions that are redeemed for their respective communities. Members of your community that are ready to start therapy, will be connected with their ideal therapist by Rise Above The Disorder - anywhere in the world. For those without insurance, this program will cover the cost of therapy for you entirely. Everyone deserves easily accessible mental health care."

Viewers who want to enroll in the program are required to directly message one of the Discord bots, and the bot will help community members connect with professionals at the Rise Above The Disorder NGO.

Here's how the streaming community members can start therapy:

"Members of the community can then start therapy in just three steps: DM the bot to receive a link to our secure & private scheduling platform; Talk with a mental health professional at Rise Above The Disorder about how you’re feeling and what you’re looking to address in therapy; Start seeing a therapist, personally matched to you."
