For most of 2020, the demand for virtually managed healthcare of all types has increased significantly, driven by the necessity for physical distancing and other circumstances that have accompanied the coronavirus pandemic. The sense of isolation that people feel and the stress of the economic crises in which many find themselves have contributed to the need to seek out mental health services.
A number of professionals have noted that existing mental health concerns – particularly among young adults – have become exacerbated over the course of the pandemic. For example, a number of millennials have reported an increase in feelings of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.
This is where Talkspace fills a vital need, offering cost-effective, sensitive, client-centered services for people, and serving as a component of corporate wellness planning and employee-benefits programs. Visit Talkspace.com to learn more.
