Releases 2024 Platform Quality and Outcomes report detailing transparent results on mental health outcomes
BetterHelp, the world's largest online therapy platform, has surpassed 5 million people across over 100 countries worldwide who have trusted its therapy services on their mental health journey.
Thanks to BetterHelp’s network of 35,000 licensed and vetted therapists, 72% of BetterHelp clients experienced a reduction in symptoms in their first 12 weeks of therapy on the platform. In recognition of the trust that members place in the BetterHelp platform to support their mental health, BetterHelp has released an unprecedented window into their platform quality, clinical outcomes, and standards around security from the past year.
“As this milestone and report both demonstrate, BetterHelp is doing something that has never been done before: providing access to high-quality mental health care at a massive scale,” said Fernando Madeira, president and CEO of BetterHelp. “Over 5 million people have trusted us with their mental health journeys at sensitive moments in their lives, and we’re proud to be able to provide this transparency about our platform and clinical outcomes in return.”
