How Anise Health Addresses the Unique Mental Health Needs of the Asian Community

Anise Health is a mental healthcare platform dedicated to improving the mental wellbeing of Asian Americans, recognizing the lack of health equity in the existing system, especially for people of color. Their goal is to offer culturally-responsive care, making mental health accessible and affordable for everyone.

Anise Health recognizes that the Asian community faces unique mental health challenges, with many suffering in silence due to the model minority myth, increase in anti-Asian hate crimes, and some internally specific challenges arising from:

• collectivistic family dynamics

• pressure to achieve and strive for perfection

• excessive shame and guilt leading to internalized self-criticism

• and many more

They aim to address this by building a digital platform offering culturally-adapted mental healthcare, which research shows to be five times more effective than one-size-fits-all offerings. Anise delivers a holistic suite of services including therapy, coaching, and digital resources by leveraging machine learning technology to personalize treatments. They contract with health plans and direct referral partners to make their services accessible. They also offer psychoeducational webinars and workshops tailored to Asian Americans, from which attendees can continue seeking care on the Anise platform.

With their platform and services, they are making a positive impact in the lives of many individuals, destigmatizing mental health and empowering people to address their mental health needs and ultimately lead healthier and happier lives.
