Our take
The wait for mental health support can often take months, and people can find themselves overwhelmed by the lack of transparency surrounding the topic of mental health. Likeminded has created a software solution that makes support easily accessible to the public and aims to eliminate the stubborn stigma surrounding mental health.
The platform allows customers to book classes where they can meet a small group of like-minded people and discuss anxiety, stress, relationships, heartbreak and self-worth, facilitated by professional psychologists. Businesses are also able to offer the solution to their employees.
Likeminded is continuing to reach new customers and aims to be the leading provider for mental health.
