The announcement followed Tapestry Telehealth's successful closing of an initial Series A fund-raising round with Sopris Capital in February. Less than a month later, the emerging Covid-19 pandemic underlined the critical role that remotely delivered primary care plays in ensuring seamless healthcare delivery.

Mr. Hirschhorn's board role was described by a partner at Sopris Capital as enabling a scale-up of customized solutions to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) nationwide. A major focus is on delivering urgently needed medical care to patients in a reliable and timely manner. The CEO of Tapestry Telehealth also lauded the arrival of the veteran industry leader to the board of a company that has a multi-specialty approach. The firm provides direct access to behavioral health services, specialists, and medical physicians at SNFs and other non-hospital locations.

Through Talkspace, Mark Hirschhorn and his team provide a high-quality alternative within the fast-growing telehealth niche.

For most of 2020, the demand for virtually managed healthcare of all types has increased significantly, driven by the necessity for physical distancing and other circumstances that have accompanied the coronavirus pandemic. The sense of isolation that people feel and the stress of the economic crises in which many find themselves have contributed to the need to seek out mental health services.

A number of professionals have noted that existing mental health concerns - particularly among young adults - have become exacerbated over the course of the pandemic. For example, a number of millennials have reported an increase in feelings of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

This is where Talkspace fills a vital need, offering cost-effective, sensitive, client-centered services for people, and serving as a component of corporate wellness planning and employee-benefits programs. Visit Talkspace.com to learn more.

Online therapy has become increasingly popular due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but some critics question its effectiveness, particularly text- and audio-based online therapy. They point to the therapist's inability to see their client and observe their patient's body language, tone of voice, and overall demeanor. These observations provide the therapist with additional information about the person's well-being. Critics also say that online therapy is impersonal and incapable of providing people with the tools and skills traditional in-person therapy offers.

However, these concerns are largely unsupported. Several studies have demonstrated that online therapy is an effective method of treating anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and depression. Furthermore, online therapy was discovered to be just as effective as in-person sessions when it came to managing these mental health issues.

This is because online therapy is capable of doing nearly anything that is done in person. Clients can send messages to their therapist at any time to receive support, and they can schedule text or video sessions ahead of time. These sessions allow the individual to talk to their therapist in a way that is more comfortable for them. Regardless of the style of therapy that individuals select, the result is that they get a chance to talk about their struggles and thoughts.

A blog article on the Talkspace site delved into the dngers presented by disinformation and how this can impact a person's mental health. While misinformation and disinformation may sound the same, they are profoundly different. Often unintentional, misinformation involves passing on information that was misheard, such as items needed at the grocery store or the time of a meeting.

By contrast, disinformation is designed to deliberately mislead and includes false reports presented to the public as valid and true. Unfortunately, with a deluge of online content, much of it social media-generated, many are confused as to what is actually accurate and legitimate. An inability to cope with disinformation can trigger phobias, panic attacks, impaired memory, and obsessive compulsive disorder. In severe cases, it may prevent people from carrying on with ordinary life activities.

Fortunately, an awareness of the nature of misinformation and disinformation is increasing, and techniques to stay objectively well-informed in a digital era are being developed. Therapists, such as those at Talkspace, can often provide an effective starting point when it comes to making sense of a barrage of news from a variety of sources and developing protective strategies in daily life.
