Due in large part to the pandemic, the global behavioral health and wellness industry is in a state of crisis. The behavioral healthcare workforce is experiencing an unprecedented shortage, and those who are working are suffering from burnout because of the increased demand for help. With the launch of Quest Depot, curaJOY hopes to fill some of the gaps created by these workforce shortages and alleviate some of the stress placed on healthcare professionals.
Quest Depot is a one-stop platform for families and individuals seeking behavioral, emotional, and psychological help. The innovative program connects users with virtual mentors via its app, social media, or text. It also has a range of content and resources available for users to use as needed. Both the mentors and the content and resources are accessible 24/7 and personalized to each user.
curaJOY developed the Quest Depot program with significant input from experts in different therapy fields. “We hired a team of senior-level, licensed child psychologists, clinical psychologists, counselors, and board-certified behavior analysts to help create the therapeutic modules in Quest Depot,” said a spokesperson for the company. The organization also adopts a trauma-informed approach from Somatic Psychology to serve those with PTSD, autism, substance abuse and attachment disorders.
Additionally, Quest Depot employs AI and ML to enhance the functionality of the platform. For the most part, these technologies are used to perform tasks usually completed by entry-level behavioral health workers, of which there are now fewer and fewer. These tasks include data collection, manual work, assessments, reporting, documentation, and analysis.
By using Quest Depot, families and individuals can get high-quality behavioral healthcare quicker and earlier, thereby improving their chances of achieving longer-lasting results. The AI and ML used also allows for reduced waiting times, more accurate data keeping, shorter lengths of care, the elimination of appointments, and multilingual accessibility.
Quest Depot is now being tested at numerous behavior therapy agencies in Southern California, with intentions of rolling it out to school districts in the region and the UK later this year. Customers can apply to become pilot study participants by visiting the Quest Depot website.
