Hot Commodity: the collision of mental health and tech
Stagione 1
di Megan Cornish, LICSW
In this episode, I chatted with Chris Larson, reporter at Behavioral Health Business, about the growing digital mental health industry, its challenges, and the factors that contributed to its rapid expansion. We discussed the importance of therapists staying informed and understanding the potential risks when joining these companies, while also exploring the scalability of mental health solutions.
The mental health industry is experiencing an unprecedented transformation. Millions of dollars are being poured into startups, and therapists have never been so in demand. But before we can address the issues that are arising, we need to get on the same page about the basics: funding, investors, and how we keep everything above board when there is so much at stake. This mini-episode will tell you what you need to know to understand the conversation and issues in the new field known as "mental health tech".
