About Swell :
Swell is on a mission to improve mental health support for military families. We envision a world of healthier, happier, kinder, and more mentally resilient people-and we're making this possible through our full-circle mental health platform.
Last year, we launched our telehealth therapy app, designed to help military members and spouses access evidence-based mental health therapy anytime they need it, covered by TRICARE. Our platform combines traditional 1 : 1 video therapy sessions with a mobile application aimed at enhancing skill adoption outside of sessions and reducing the overall time-to-benefit in therapy. Over time, we'll expand to include self-guided features for Interventional and Preventative mental healthcare for individuals and couples.
We're a small startup founded by therapists, social workers, military spouses, and former service members. We're passionate about improving access and outcomes for the military community and beyond. If you're excited about our mission and eager to support this unique community, we want to talk to you!
