And the pandemic has only widened the shortage gap and caused a mental health crisis in both adults and children.Plus, 60 million people live in rural areas in the United States, where they just simply aren’t within driving distance of any type of mental health facility or office (source).The MarketDemand for virtual mental wellness services is growingWe’ve tapped into a $200 Billion global market with a solution that many business models have simply overlooked— and that is the efficacy of expert-led peer support groups.COVID-19 generated unparalleled demand for virtual mental health care services.
