Founders of a new online service called eHome Heroes hope to eliminate the stigma associated with post-traumatic stress disorder treatments by offering confidential sessions via smartphone, tablet or computer.
“You are looking at the counselor, they are in the screen and you have a dialogue back and forth,” eHome Heroes chairman Rogers Kervin told News 6. Kervin said the initial pilot testing has been encouraging because the counselor-patient relationships
are working.
“The fact of the matter is if I’m a counselor and I can relate to you, good things will happen,” Kervin said.
Kervin said the eHome Heroes blueprint uses seven tests to examine the patient’s mental status before the company assigns a counselor.
