TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cope Notes, a leading mental health platform, has just extended its partnership with Central Florida Behavioral Health Network (CFBHN) to provide essential mental health services to faculty, staff, and students in Pasco, Charlotte, and DeSoto County school districts. This collaboration aims to make mental health resources more accessible to youth and adults, empowering thousands with anonymous daily support.

CFBHN is offering Cope Notes subscriptions at no cost to the districts, marking a significant step towards addressing the growing mental health needs of Florida's education system. To date, their collaboration has already distributed more than 1,000 subscriptions, with thousands more being made available across more than 100 schools this Spring semester.

Since 2018, Cope Notes has delivered more than 4 million daily text messages that foster emotional resilience and mental well-being. The service combines positive psychology, neuroscience, and peer support to deliver health education content that requires less than 10 seconds of daily interaction to produce measurable results: These micro-interventions are proven to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress while enhancing coping skills and emotional intelligence.

Parents are encouraged to sign up their middle and high school children, and district employees are urged to take advantage of this resource for themselves to help combat burnout, compassion fatigue, and stress. A case study conducted on the initiative highlighted the program's effectiveness, with 85.4% of respondents using Cope Notes every single day, and 98.8% of participants feeling more positive and supported.

Johnny Crowder, Founder and CEO of Cope Notes, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: "Central Florida Behavioral Health Network cares about youth mental health, and understands that investing in our educators is just as important, says Johnny Crowder, CEO & Founder of Cope Notes. Making daily support accessible at this scale through this partnership allows us to reach those who need it most, when they need it most. This is exactly the type of tool I needed when I was in school."

While the program continues to grow in popularity throughout the districts, it took time to earn the buy-in of administrators and staff. "As a licensed therapist, I wasn't sure what to expect," commented B.J. Develle, a District Assigned School Social Worker. "But now, I've seen the impact in myself, my wife, my coworkers, and even my son. It's brilliantly simple."

District students and staff can redeem their free subscriptions through the following links: DeSoto, Charlotte, and Pasco. To learn more about how Cope Notes can serve your school, college, or district, visit copenotes.com/schools.
