Primary issue(s) / need(s) addressed

We focused on Access to mental health services and the lack of opportunities for underserved people who needed psychological support.

The problem of access to mental health is great, we are democratizing this care and bringing mental health professionals closer to people who traditionally have not had or could not count on psychological support. One of the few studies is the "Report on the mental health system in Guatemala" prepared by PAHO in 2011 and clearly shows the great lack of services and access to mental health in Guatemala.

Impact, adaptations & objectives

Impact to date

One of our main metrics is the evaluation of the well-being perceived by the impacted groups. This metric will always be subject to an important component of subjectivity. More than 70% of our clients had never had contact with mental health professionals. In Guatemala, as of July 2021, we have directly impacted more than 5 thousand people.

Impact measuring

The main metric is people who have never had contact with mental health professionals. We measure it from the moment they interact with us on our platform or communication channels.
