(FORT WORTH, Texas) \u2014 TimelyCare is expanding critically needed access to virtual care resources to improve the health and well-being of K-12 teachers, administrators and support staff.<\/p>\n

Overworked, underpaid and facing tremendous pressure, K-12 workers have the highest burnout rate of any industry in the United States, according to a recent Gallup Panel Workforce Study<\/a>. A 2022 National Education Association survey<\/a> found that 90% of teachers are experiencing burnout. However, a 2023 RAND report<\/a> found only about half believe they have adequate mental health support to deal with the levels of stress they face post-pandemic.<\/p>\n

Serving K-12 employees builds upon TimelyCare\u2019s leadership as higher education\u2019s most trusted health and well-being provider and experience serving more than 2.3 million students, faculty and staff at colleges and universities across the country. Extending anytime, anywhere virtual medical and mental health care to K-12 educators and staff through its integrated, easy-to-use platform was a natural next step with benefits beyond the classroom. Multiple studies<\/a> have shown that improved teacher well-being increases job satisfaction, boosts retention, enhances quality of instruction and improves student outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNine out of 10 public schools already struggle to hire educators, and stress is the number one reason cited by teachers who intend to leave the field. With 24\/7 access to mental health and medical care, TimelyCare helps teachers and support staff take care of themselves so they can continue to serve students,\u201d said Luke Hejl, TimelyCare CEO and co-founder.<\/p>\n

Now states, districts and schools can provide faculty and staff a wide-ranging menu of virtual care options, including live counseling and medical care from licensed providers in all 50 states, as well as on-demand emotional support, self-care resources and a peer community exclusively built for education professionals. Benefits include:<\/p>\n
