In response to the unprecedented need for mental health and mental wellbeing services during the pandemic, nonprofit health system MemorialCare is now offering a free online resource to not only its patients but to the entire community. The increased access to SilverCloud Health comes on the heels of ongoing reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that more than 40% of U.S adults are struggling with mental health or substance abuse as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
SilverCloud provides an on-demand, virtual mental health platform that offers digital behavioral health care via evidence-based content, programs and support, with more than 1,000 MemorialCare patients having used the platform to-date.
