THE CHALLENGE

Managing sensitive conversations in real-time

For mental healthcare companies, ensuring user safety on social media is critical. Talkiatry shares valuable insights and resources across its social channels, aiming to create a safe space where individuals can engage in discussions without the risk of harmful content or misinformation. 

The brand needed a way to manage comments at scale, 24/7, across both organic content and ads. By proactively monitoring and moderating conversations, Talkiatry prevents hate speech and bullying comments, protects individuals' health information, and safeguards its brand reputation. Simultaneously, engaging with users professionally and empathetically helps to reframe the conversation around mental health and builds user trust.
