👋 Hello PH! 你好, नमस्ते , こんにちは, 안녕하세요, สวัสดี, Kumusta! Wow, the day has finally come. I’m thrilled to share this exciting opportunity with you! 💁‍♀️Who are we? I’m Nisha, co-founder of Anise Health, a culturally-responsive digital mental health platform built by and for communities of color, starting with a focus on Asian Americans. Our web app integrates teletherapy, behavioral coaching, and digital resources into personalized monthly care plans. These services are delivered by a rockstar team of diverse providers who we train to address stressors that impact Asian young adults, such as bicultural tension, perfectionism, discrimination, and intergenerational trauma. Leveraging AI / ML, we match clients to providers, triage clients to the right care plan based on progress measures, and offer tailored diagnostics and ongoing decision support to providers. TLDR: Imagine finally getting care that actually works for you without having to explain yourself 100x, all from a convenient online platform! ❤️ Why are we doing this? BIPOC have been overlooked by the existing mental health care system which is built on Eurocentric values. People of Asian descent are 2x more likely to experience anxiety and depression, yet 3x less likely to receive effective care vs the general population. We’re here to change these trends - 90% of our clients see symptom improvements by Week 8 of care. 📝 How does the scholarship work? The RestorAsian Scholarship will be awarded to 25 lucky recipients to experience the first month (4 sessions) of our unique care model for free. We are currently only able to accept eligible first-time users (ages 18+) residing in CA or NY. Applying is simple! Follow these two simple steps: 1. Take 5 minutes to submit Anise Health’s intake form asap (follow the link above or go to www.anisehealth.co) 2. Select the “RestorAsian Scholarship” among the drop-down options on the last page when asked “How did you hear about us?” That’s it! Anise Health will randomly select winners each week in November, and you will be informed within one week of completing your intake form. While you wait for our response, we encourage you to schedule a free trial with your recommended providers! 📧 We’d love to hear from you! Please share your feedback in the comments - we’ll read through every one of them. Cheers, Nisha and the Anise Health Team

Thrilled to see Anise Health on Product Hunt, Nisha! The culturally-responsive care your platform is offering can make such a difference 🙌 Especially for the Asian American community, where mental health is often a stigma. Wondering what's the criteria for selecting the 25 recipients for RestorAsian Scholarship, and are there any particular timelines for application and winner announcement? Looking forward to see how your platform develops and grows. Keep up the amazing work! 👏💫😊

@paul_gorval Excellent question. We are randomly selecting the 25 recipients for the RestorAsian Scholarship because we want to make effective care as accessible as possible. In fact, the sign-up process is super easy! Just fill out the intake form here: https://patient.anisehealth.co/o... and select "RestorAsian Scholarship" in the section that says "how did you hear about us"

@paul_gorval In terms of timeline, the earlier people apply the better. We are randomly selecting winners each week, so people only need to wait 1 week before they hear back from us. In the meantime, they can schedule their free trial call with a matched provider. This offer ends in November! Winners will have 2 weeks to use the code that we'll share so that they can begin care.

I like the niche idea. What parts of Asia are covered? I guess the eastern Mediterranean isn't covered?
Angel Wang

@kingromstar Hi Rami, great question! I'm Angel and I lead Growth at Anise Health. Our services are currently available in the United States, focusing on people of Asian descent who live as a minority in a majority culture. That said, in the future, we hope to expand our innovative clinical care model to other parts of the world.
Rami
@angel_wang3 I meant do West Asians in the U.S. count as Asians?
Angel Wang
Maker
@kingromstar Yes, our services are available for anyone that self-identifies as Asian including West Asia. We encourage clients to apply and assess the fit with their recommended therapists that are suggested to them within 2 business days. Our clinical care model is built upon culturally-responsive care which can be helpful for variety of underrepresented groups in the Asian diaspora.
Congrats team Anise Health RestorAsian Scholarship on the launch!

I am thrilled to see that mental health services are now becoming mainstream, especially within Asian culture where discussing mental health was once considered taboo. In my personal experience, this shift is incredibly encouraging. I am excited about the mission and journey of "Anise Health".

@rightavenues_jmp Yes, this is exactly the process of destigmatizing and normalizing mental health that we feel so strongly about. Many families in Asian cultures shy away from discussing mental health because of the shame, guilt, and blame. We appreciate that these services are becoming more mainstream and accessible!

Congratulations to the Anise team on this incredible launch! I've seen firsthand how impactful culturally-responsive therapists have been to mine and my family's mental wellbeing and I will be rooting for you all to continue disrupting and innovating in this space!

@anil_chitrapu I'm so touched that you shared how your family has benefitted from culturally-responsive care. Stories like this help destigmatize mental health for our community. Thank you so much and super glad we're connected here!
