Online Behavioral Health Services in Florida

Are you struggling with your own emotional well being? Are you concerned about the mental health of a loved one? You're not alone.

Data from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) for Florida indicates that nearly 3 million adults in the state – approximately 14% of the population – have a diagnosed mental health condition. The precise number is even higher when the number of residents who have not received an official assessment is taken into consideration. In addition, approximately 41% of adults report having symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Sadly, Florida’s youth are on a similar track, especially when the mental health ramifications of the COVID-19 lockdowns are properly calculated. The Behavioral Health Barometer for the state reports that over 13% of those aged 12-17 have experienced a Major Depressive Episode (MDE). Further, with so much attention being afforded to the older population of the state, youth are not getting the help they desperately need. Over 64% of the 12–17 Floridian age group with depression did not receive any care in the last year. As a result, they are entering (or preparing to enter) post-secondary life with foundational problems that will reverberate into their collegiate experience, and deeper into the future. A vicious cycle is being
perpetuated.

It’s the traditional lack of access to adequate help has been troubling. NAMI reports that an estimated 30% of all Floridians (6.4 million people) live in a community that does not have adequate access to mental health professionals.
