We are HelloBetter.
We want to empower as many people as possible to manage their own mental health and improve their quality of life – anywhere and at any time, with no waiting lists.
Our mission:
With HelloBetter to a healthier future
HelloBetter (formerly GET.ON) is a global pioneer in the field of e-mental health. No other provider worldwide has conducted as many clinical studies on the effectiveness of its online mental health courses. With our unrivalled scientific expertise (30+ RCTs) and passion for supporting people with mental health problems, we have already helped tens of thousands of patients to lead better lives.
HelloBetter – courses that really help
Our online courses have been developed and evaluated over many years of research by an interdisciplinary team of psychologists. We only offer products whose effectiveness has been confirmed in at least one clinical study that meets the quality criteria of scientific journals.
Our training guides:
Trained psychologists and psychotherapists
To ensure the quality of service, all psychologists in our service team have a Master’s degree in psychology and are at least in the final stages of their training as psychotherapists, or are already trained psychotherapists. In addition, all psychologists in the service team receive further training in online coaching, so that they can guide the participants optimally through their course.
