Skylight Partners with BetterHelp for World Mental Health Awareness

This World Mental Health Day (10th October), family-first home tech brand Skylight has partnered with BetterHelp, one of the world's largest online therapy platforms, to offer Australians a free month of complimentary therapy.

From today until the 31st of October, every Skylight Calendar purchase in the country will include a free month of online therapy with BetterHelp, valued at up to $480 AUD. The goal is to help more families access professional mental health support.

A recent Skylight study revealed that mental load occupies up to 63% of a parent's brain, with an average of 30.4 hours per week spent planning and coordinating family schedules and household tasks - nearly a full-time job! As mental load is a key contributor to burnout, the Skylight Calendar helps ease the pressure of day-to-day organisation.

BetterHelp, a fully online global therapy service, offers discreet , professional therapy services through a completely online platform. With over 30,000 credentialed  therapists globally, Australians are matched with therapists based on their needs, preferences and location. All sessions are , flexible, and accessible via text, video or phone.

World Mental Health Day is a reminder that support matters - and it starts at home. Through this initiative, Skylight and BetterHelp are inviting Australian families to prioritise their mental wellbeing with tools designed to make life lighter, more connected, and less stressful.

By replacing chaotic fridge calendars and whiteboards, the smart calendar works not only as a visible organisation tool, but as interactive, flexible and dynamic central hub for managing the whole family's schedule. With features like colour-coded events, chore tracking, meal planning and a shared grocery list, Skylight helps turn household coordination into a team effort - taking the mental load off any one parent. 

By combining daily structure with mental health support, this partnership recognises that organisation and wellbeing go hand-in-hand.

Sana Kwaja, BACP-accredited therapist at BetterHelp says:"As both a therapist and a mum, I understand the invisible labour that often comes with managing family life. I often hear from parents that the mental load - juggling schedules, remembering tasks, and anticipating needs - can quietly build up, and fall on one person, leading to stress, irritability, and eventually burnout."

"That's why this partnership is so meaningful. Tools like the Skylight Calendar can make a real difference in family wellbeing. And when paired with BetterHelp's online therapy, which offers a safe space to process stress, build coping strategies, and strengthen communication, families are better equipped to thrive together."

The offer is available from 10th to 31st October 2025 via purchases made from the Skylight website. And can only be redeemed by new Skylight customers, who have never received therapy via BetterHelp before.
