Jeff Goodwin's two sons suffer from significant mental health issues. As a result, he has spent years navigating our current mental health system. "The key barriers to care for us and many families are access, stigma, and cost. The average delay between onset of mental health symptoms and clinical intervention is 8 to 10 years for teens and young adults."
Jeff hopes to offer a way of eliminating some of these barriers by developing a platform that links licensed counselors with teens and young adults suffering from depression, anxiety, and addiction.
Jeff looks forward to sharing his thoughts as a parent of children with mental health disorders, what they could have done differently, and how they may be able to help others to make a difference.
Jeff has lived in Chester County for the past 25 years with his wife and three children. His background is in Healthcare IT and he has owned a healthcare IT consulting firm.
