SHARE: RESTORING MENTAL HEALTH IN THE NEW NORMAL
SINGAPORE,July 7,2022 -- TheShareCo announces the launch of Share,a Singapore-based mental health app that allows students,parents and working adults to seek online therapy in an affordable,accessible and anonymous manner. It is believed to be the first-of-its-kind counselling on-demand app that combines discovery,booking,consultation,review and payment all within one single application.
Through Share,TheShareCo hopes to restore mental health and save lives,amidst the current pandemic and economic-led hardships.
In 2020,Singapore alone saw an alarming increase in suicide death,among those aged 10 to 19,by near 40%,with the elderly hitting a 30-year high. Similar uptrends were observed worldwide. Let's pause at this point to think about the number of families that have been permanently ruined.
"Never mind that stress-related illnesses cost Singapore's economy S$3.2 billion annually," said Tan Han Sing,founder of TheShareCo. "Precious human lives are at stake here,and I feel strongly that if we can help tackle the issue in any way,particularly through technology,we should explore it earnestly. One life lost is one too many."
In a mental health survey conducted in 2021 across 10 countries — Australia,United States,United Kingdom,Singapore and India,to name a few — it was revealed that 58% did not seek help for clinical level challenges. For non-clinical,it was a staggering 84%.
The reasons cited were:
a lack of knowledge of what kind of help to seek or where to get it (34%)
a lack of confidence in mental health treatment (28%)
stigma or fear of not wanting people to know (22%)
a lack of affordability (17%)
Share is here to help solve these pain points,by offering:
Instant Confirmation 24X7
No more endless pre-consultation questionnaires to fill up. No more long anxious wait for an appointment date. All bookings are confirmed by therapists over the Share app — direct,instant — whether a client needs to chat now,or in the next hour.
Stay Anonymous
No registration is required when a client accesses the Share app and explores its free resources. When a client is ready for consultation,just fill in the essential information to get the therapist started. Clients may also turn off their device camera,if they wish to,throughout the session.
100% Trusted and Qualified
All therapists are trained and certified by recognized institutions,each with a minimum Master's degree.
Simple Tech and Useful Tools
Share raises the bar with its built-in videotelephony module,accompanied by pioneering annotation and chat tools to ensure that every session is as interactive as it is effective. There's no third-party meeting app to install. Share is also accessibility-friendly,allowing Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to receive much-needed counselling support too.
