A Little About Us

We put HealthyPlace.com together to provide information, support and the opportunity to share experiences helpful to others in the areas of mental health. The site was launched in March 2000. In a little more than one year, solely by word of mouth, we have built the largest consumer mental health site on the internet.

Here are our vital statistics for the HealthyPlace.com website (www.healthyplace.com). As of Nov. 2001:

approximately 300,000 unique visitors a month come to our award-winning website. That number continues to grow by about 15% a month.
pageviews run about 7-10 per visitor session. The site has over 12,000 pages of content. We add about 100 pages of new content every week. (Take a tour. Click the link and a separate window opens.)
average session time: 17- 25 min.

Another 1,500 people a day gather in our chatrooms. In addition to just getting together to talk, our visitors participate in about 60 support groups that run throughout the week on our chat site focusing on various psychological disorders; hosted by trained volunteers.

We have nearly 350,000 people who have signed up for our "targeted by disorder" email newsletter lists.

After two months on the air, HealthyPlace.com Radio, our weekly live mental health radio show, has some 4,000 online listeners per month.

WHEN PEOPLE WANT RELIABLE MENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION AND/OR SUPPORT, THEY VISIT HEALTHYPLACE.COM - Mental Health Communities and/or listen and call into HEALTHYPLACE.COM RADIO.

Many people come to HealthyPlace.com for information and support to help them cope with various psychological and emotional problems they, or a loved one, may be experiencing. We provide authoritative, constantly updated, information in written form, video and audio (HealthyPlace.com Radio), as well as through "chat conferences" and relationships with specialized information and service providers.

Our visitors know that we sincerely care about them and their particular situations. We have literally helped hundreds of thousands of people who are searching for information on what they, or a loved one, are suffering from. This is something we are extremely proud of. That's why our visitors keep coming back home to HealthyPlace.com.

Here's what some of our visitors have to say:

Nancy: "I just sent you my email and I got such a quick response...now that is magic!!!!!! Your chatrooms are like a lifeline to me. We are quite a community/family there. You should be proud of the service you have provided for so many. Thank you again."

Scott: "You all do a great job. Your newsletter is something I look forward to! The chat rooms are a great place to go to. Keep up the good work!!"

Nora: "I have been helped so much by this service in the short time I've been using it that I would like to share it with our student body (I teach at a high school). Thanks for being here to help us! I'm REALLY glad I found this site."

Jill: "I sought help due to a much needed push from my husband. He suggested I visit the HealthyPlace website. I learned so much. I have started taking Celexa. An incredible difference. Here I am at the top again! Thank God. By the way, I am obsessive compulsive, with panic attacks, and also borderline anorexic. Ouch! But here I am doing quite well and succeeding in most everything I do. Being a mother, wife, and full time employee in a job I love! I don't know how I can begin to thank you for this incredibly valuable service you provide."
