About Us

Help.org launched as the premier health and wellness organization. We are devoted to empowering people to take control of their lives by providing the information they need to make informed decisions about their health. Created by collective of health experts and consumer advocates, Help.org is dedicated to providing information based on fact-based, in-depth research and trends on health living. As the leading source of information for mental health, cutting-edge nutrition, and more, Help.org is your gateway to reaching the level of health and wellness that is best for you.

It is undeniable that misleading information can be spread so quickly through social media and websites that bend the truth to fit their narrative and are not incentivized to state the truth. This leads to millions of people search for the truth when the truth is so difficult to find, difficult to understand, and inaccessible. We are committed to changing that. We are committed to enabling and inspiring health, healing, and wellness by surfacing the truth.

Launched in 2013, Help.org was started to provide people with trusted, real-world, evidence-based health and wellness information from healthcare providers and professionals. We use personal patient perspectives and insights from those to promote healthy living.
