Accessing psychiatric expertise can be difficult.
"80% of people start their mental health journey in primary care. As a psychiatrist, I know that quality care is within reach for most of them with the right tools to support evidence-informed decision making. I’m committed to breaking down barriers, bridging the chasm between psychiatric knowledge and the people who carry the weight of mental health care. We have the technology, and the need is overwhelming. It’s time to imagine better."
