In the US only one in three people with anxiety and depression seek help. Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, Health Economist & Management Consultant at THINK-Health, moderates a panel that covers emerging online mental health resources that can help bridge this gap. These demos introduce us to a variety of accessible, quality care for those that can’t and don’t get these services.

Michael Laskoff, CEO, introduces us to AbilTo, which helps individuals manage life transitions and enjoy improved mental and physical health. Using video-chat, it delivers practical expertise to people at home so they can successfully confront the challenges of life transition.
