Currently, 1 in 6 adolescents in the state experience a mental health disorder each year, and financial and regional barriers prevent more than half from accessing treatment, according to a Jan. 17 news release from the provider. Carter Barnhart, CEO and co-founder of Charlie Health, said in the release she aims to make care more accessible in the state through the expansion.
The company expanded to Michigan and Colorado in December and the treatment program is available in 19 states, now including Florida.
