According to FAIR Health and Axios, mental health diagnoses among Seniors are up 57% since 2019.
Whether this rise is due to increased pathology, or less resistance to seeking care, the bottom line is clear – Seniors are in need of behavioral health support. And in an already-taxed behavioral health care system, Supportiv has been providing an alternative access route to the over-65 demographic: online peer support.
While one might think stigma keeps Seniors from engaging with mental health services, Supportiv has seen the opposite – that Seniors in this day and age are both willing to open up about emotional struggles, and able to do so even via nontraditional channels like online peer support chats.
Individuals on Medicare have surprisingly embraced this nontraditional and tech-enabled modality, and we at Supportiv are excited to expand services to more Medicare plans, as we continue to engage this population.
