May is Mental Health Awareness month, which is apt timing as we all collectively experience the social impacts the Coronavirus pandemic has created throughout the world. Many are forced to take the time to consider where they're at with their own mental health, which is exactly what Cody Semrau, Founder & CEO of BetterMynd, has been facilitating for years.
On May 14th the FI Washington D.C. graduate joined us for an interview on how his impact startup BetterMynd is helping college students get access to online therapy, and breaking the stigma that surrounds mental health. With many universities choosing to go virtual for the Fall 2020 semester, the sessions BetterMynd provides will be in demand. Students can schedule sessions during non-business hours -- including on the weekends -- in one of 4 languages: Spanish, Mandarin, English, and French.
For those who do not want to talk openly about their mental health situation, BetterMynd is an ideal route to take. Because the sessions are virtual, all students need is a good internet connection, and then they can talk from the privacy of their home or wherever is most comfortable for them.
