BIO
“As we approach Mental Health Awareness Month in May, we are reminded that access to mental health care is a growing national health crisis. A 2021 National Council for Mental Wellbeing report states that there is a severe shortage of mental health providers in 77% of counties across the United States. The CEO of the American Psychological Association has called the current crisis a “Mental Health Tsunami.”
Tamar Blue, the founder and CEO of MentalHappy, is confronting the tsunami with a solution that increases “people-power” in mental health, in order to meet the growing demand.”
MentalHappy is a health platform designed to help people of all races, genders, and economic statuses improve their emotional well-being through positive peer support.
