COPE Today started in response to the soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with mental health issues and we modified and improved the system based on real experiences with soldiers. We formed a Provider Advisory Committee and want our providers as partners with us as we develop the framework for providing quality mental health care over the Internet and the telephone. The tools we use are not revolutionary, the way we have put them together is. We believe that access to medications is an important part of a comprehensive treatment plan for mental health and have incorporated that into our model where counselor and physician can collobarate for the benefit of one patient.

COPE Today is looking for the best providers who can deliver quality care regardless of the medium. We offer the ability to provide treatment via live chat, secure messaging, videoconference, and telephony. A good counselor can provider care through all of those mediums. Come join us and help change the world a little bit for the better.

In addition to assessments, surveys and media sharing, CopeToday tracks outcomes based on the patient’s answers to a pre and post visit questionnaire. We have the ability for the patient to take a test (depression, anxiety) through a branch logic questionnaire and receive a real time result based on their answers compared to the general population.
