How digital interventions are reshaping the mental health care landscape
Right when they were needed the most Covid-19 presented one of the biggest challenges in history for mental health services. In a matter of weeks, the pandemic tore through services as we knew them, forcing organisations to rapidly rethink how to continue to deliver and provide client care.
