Therapy is invaluable to those who need it. And while I agree that you do get more out of it in in-person sessions that is just not a realistic option in this case. It has been incredibly hard for me to find an in-person therapist in the city and I have insurance, am able to make time for an appointment during a weekday, and am able to pay out of pocket costs. I doubt even half of students in the city have all that. This program is going to help people, full stop.

And there’s obviously a massive difference between using a device to go to therapy and using one to doomscroll on twitter/reddit or play video games. Its just the most boomer shit ever to hear this news and immediately go to ‘phone bad make kid big sad’
