The Problem
PTSD programs don't understand ICU trauma.
Therapists rarely do either.
No digital therapeutics platform specifically treats ICU family trauma with clinical understanding of what happened in that room.

"The most important thing is no matter the outcome, the family as a whole should come together for each other and regularly check in on how they are doing emotionally"

"A mutually supportive community where deeply emotional things you can't tell people you know can be told"

"As it relates to the family, these needs may involve education, social and emotional support, and access to helpful resources"
