More than 50 Million American adults suffer from mental illness every year. And 5% experience a more serious mental health concern. 1 in 6 kids ages 6-17 experience a mental health disorder. Suicide remains the second-leading cause of death among all U.S. children ages 10 to 14.
Churches and community organizations across the country struggle with finding the time, money and resources to take care of the many needs of those entrusted to them. As the mental health crisis grows in our communities, the need for innovation in mental health care expands with it.
ProvidersThe demand for mental health providers in our country has more than doubled in the last three years, as more families recognize their need for mental health services. This dynamic is expected to continue well into the future.
InfrastructureMost churches and community organizations are not equipped or staffed to provide mental health solutions when needed. Implementation of mental health services across the country continues to lag far behind, especially in rural areas.
StaffingIn a church or community organization, providing effective mental health services would require the addition of adding qualified staff, maybe even needing some personnel being Licensed Mental Health Professionals.
BridgeCare provides an end-to-end solution for remote behavioral counselling that enables churches and organizations to see ALL those in need, for a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house counsellors.
Our platform manages everything, including enrollment, daily session scheduling and counselling services with regionally located therapists via our secure telehealth kiosk. This leaves only the task of having the counselling room available per the daily schedule.
BridgeCare offers a solution that meets the challenges of mental health services. This involves addressing three major issues:

Our software connects patients with therapists with ease. This service helps reduce therapist burnout, one of the major challenges of mental health. BridgeCare developed telehealth software that allows therapists be in one location and see clients locally and throughout the region. By eliminating travel time and logistics, it reduces the pressures associated with providing quality mental health care.
To create the best environment for comfort, confidentiality and compliance, BridgeCare has developed the ideal solution for a telehealth kiosk to serve as a state-of-the-art therapy delivery system. Our goal is to create a safe environment that is comfortable for every client. Our recommendations help outfit each room with appropriate decor and tools to be used in therapy sessions. If preferred, a starter kit can be purchased from BridgeCare.
Creating minimal workload for local staff was a passion that lead us to create our Scheduling Services department. It is our mission to enable the church or community organization to concentrate on the important work of day-to-day operations, while we work to provide clinical therapy services.
