The announcement details a range of benefits for individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and trauma. The MHAGC volunteer therapists offers expertise across a range of therapeutic approaches and a diverse range of issues they support.
The incidence of individuals suffering from adverse mental health is increasing with 24.7% reporting an unmet need for treatment. A lack of adequate health insurance is a common precipitating factor in this decreasing uptake of frontline support services.
The new service is available remotely and all sessions take place via a safe and secure HiPAA compliant connection. The team of highly trained therapists offers you complete confidentiality alongside a compassionate and empathic approach to complex emotional problems.
Bridge2Help is designed to provide support for anyone going through a difficult time in their life. If you're a parent, caregiver, education professional, individual who does not know where to turn, it gives you a way to get the support you need to support for you, or to help someone you care about.
