Amplify Horse Racing Launches Therapy Partnership with BetterHelp

Amplify Horse Racing is partnering with online therapy platform BetterHelp to offer members of the equine industry one month of free therapy.

The partnership Amplify arranged with BetterHelp will give users a free month of therapy (up to four live sessions with a therapist who is specifically assigned to their individual preferences) and a discount to the platform thereafter. Any future or current equine industry participants or employees of all ages are welcome to take advantage of this confidential service through the use of code 9b8d2 on betterhelp.com/ amplify. Amplify will not know who is receiving therapy and won’t have access to users’ personal data.

BetterHelp offers access to more than 25,000 therapists across the U.S., services in more than 50 languages and support in more than 200 countries. Users can communicate with their therapist via phone, video and live chat and can message their therapist at any time. Therapists on BetterHelp are licensed, trained, experienced and accredited psychologists (PhD/PsyD), marriage and family therapists (LMFT), clinical social workers (LCSW/LMSW) or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All have a master’s or doctorate degree in their field and have been qualified and certified by their state’s professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice. While their experience, expertise and backgrounds vary, they all possess at least three years and 2,000 hours of hands-on experience.

“As Amplify encourages more young people to consider careers in the Thoroughbred industry, we want to make sure we are providing flexible resources like BetterHelp to support their mental health and well-being,” said Annise Montplaisir, executive director of Amplify. “Many industry employees have unconventional working hours and travel extensively, making it difficult to schedule a regular therapy appointment, so we’re excited to offer something that can be flexible regardless of schedule.”

Amplify Horse Racing is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that amplifies Thoroughbred industry education, mentorship and career opportunities with horse programs for youth and young adults. The program is designed to create pathways to involvement for newcomers, highlight existing initiatives and create new resources to lead the Thoroughbred industry into the future.
