  + stars: | 2024-07-25 | by ( Nicole Auerbach | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +10 min
AdvertisementThere are no surgeries or physical rehabilitation plans to address mental health challenges. Phelps has made mental health a huge focus in retirement, trying to help others avoid the feelings he endured. Bartley, who has worked with the USOPC since it created a mental health task force in 2020, said that her main goal over the past four years has been building out the organization’s infrastructure for therapy for mental health needs. Now, there are 15 psychological service providers — meaning those qualified to work on mental health, mental performance or even sleep. What does it mean to make the Olympic Games or not make the Olympic Games?

Both children received help through telehealth therapy, a service that schools around the country are offering in response to soaring mental health struggles among American youth. The growth reflects a booming new business born from America’s youth mental health crisis, which has proven so lucrative that venture capitalists are funding a new crop of school teletherapy companies. For rural schools and lower-income students in particular, it has made therapy easier to access. Schools let students connect with online counselors during the school day or after hours from home. It now employs more than 300 clinicians providing teletherapy in over 150 school districts in 15 states.

☆ Mental Health Spending Surged During the Pandemic
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Ellen Barry | More About Ellen Barry | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Use of mental health care increased substantially during the coronavirus pandemic, as teletherapy lowered barriers to regular visits, according to a large study of insurance claims published Friday in JAMA Health Forum. From March 2020 to August 2022, mental health visits increased by 39 percent, and spending increased by 54 percent, the study found. Its examination of 1,554,895 claims for clinician visits also identified a tenfold increase in the use of telehealth. The study covers visits for around seven million adults throughout the country who receive health insurance through their employers, so it excludes many patients with very severe mental illnesses, and it does not cover acute or residential care. The increases are likely to be sustained, even as insurers weigh the benefit of continuing to pay more, said Christopher M. Whaley, a health care economist at the RAND Corporation and an author of the study.

☆ Science has figured out why Silicon Valley keeps forking over millions to charismatic screw-ups like WeWork founder Adam Neumann
  + stars: | 2022-09-07 | by ( Adam Rogers | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +14 min
And in and around Silicon Valley, they're the informational coin of the realm. Silicon Valley, after all, prides itself on being an ultrarational place for data-driven decisions, made by people with the brains and intestinal fortitude to identify disruptive winners. But the more solid research puts the lie to the idea of Silicon Valley as a utopia of empiricism. Its unfettered belief in freewheeling, big-ticket plays, in fact, is what sets Silicon Valley apart from other tech ecosystems. To the movers and shakers of Silicon Valley, a startup isn't merely a business.
