Healwise

Healwise is a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to mental healthcare for economically marginalized communities. Only 46% of adults with a mental illness receive mental healthcare in the United States. Access rates are lowest for young adults (42%), people of color (18-42%), and the uninsured (27%). Our nonprofit aims to inspire and empower every American, regardless of their financial circumstances or background, to succeed on their mental health journeys.

Our primary initiative is our service platform where we connect help-seekers with affordable mental health services. On our platform, it is easy for help-seekers to search for affordable services near them and evaluate their options using information about cost, financial aid, and populations served. A unique aspect of our platform is our inclusion of peer-based services, like support groups and warmlines.
