Bozeman, Mont.-based virtual mental healthcare provider Charlie Health has expanded its outpatient care program to Michigan.
The virtual treatment program offers group, family and individual therapy services patients can access from home, according to a Dec. 13 news release from the company.
"There are several barriers to mental healthcare in the state of Michigan, with more than 5.2 million Michiganders living in areas that have a shortage of mental health professionals," Carter Barnhart, Charlie Health's CEO and co-founder, said in the release. "Industrywide barriers including transportation, waiting times and cost have all prevented youth and families from receiving the care they need. Through our virtual [outpatient program] model, we are helping young people and families heal."
The company's treatment program is now accessible in 18 states.
