HealthWell recently contributed an article to @triage_health`s blog! Managing a chronic illness presents daily challenges—not just in maintaining one’s physical and emotional health, but also in handling the financial burden of ongoing treatment. High out-of-pocket costs for medications, specialist visits, and essential therapies can place significant strain on patients and their families. At the HealthWell Foundation, we believe no one should have to choose between their health and financial stability.

One in four people will be affected by a mental illness at some point of their lives, and an estimated three-quarters of mental health disorders start before the age of 24. Unfortunately, more than 50% of people living with a mental illness will not seek help because of stigma, keeping millions of people from leading full and successful lives. @BringChangetoMind (BC2M) seeks to close this gap.
