ClinConnect and BetterHelp Partner to Advance Shared Aim of Expanding Access to Care

Collaboration provides ClinConnect users one month of free therapy

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ClinConnect, a first-of-its-kind platform redefining how patients and clinical trials find each other, today announced a partnership with BetterHelp, the world’s leading online therapy platform, to provide ClinConnect users with one month of free online therapy, supporting ClinConnect’s mission to improve access to healthcare for a broad range of patients.

“ClinConnect was founded with a philosophy to always do right by the patients we serve, which includes identifying new pathways to receiving healthcare,” said Robert Maxwell, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at ClinConnect. “We know firsthand that the challenges and complexities of clinical trials can take a tremendous mental and emotional toll on patients and caregivers, creating additional burdens as they seek care for their physical health. By partnering with BetterHelp, the thousands of patients in our network will have the opportunity to access affordable, easy-to-use therapy, providing an additional support system for our users during their clinical trial journey.”

Through this partnership, ClinConnect’s more than 70,000 users may be able to connect with a licensed therapist through BetterHelp for one month of free therapy ($300 value). Research has shown that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person therapy, and for those suffering from chronic illness, that service may be vital as they navigate the healthcare system and life post-diagnosis.

“ClinConnect’s mission to make clinical trials more easily accessible to those searching for them complements our goal at BetterHelp to help anyone who struggles with life’s challenges. We’re pleased to offer our professional, effective therapy services to patients who may be facing extremely stressful circumstances, impacting their overall wellbeing,” said Natalie Notzon, Director of Partnership Development at BetterHelp. “Our shared aim is to make healthcare more accessible, and we’re excited to be able to expand that mission together.”
