Headway Online
Stefania Gingery
Welcome to Headway's online communities. Through our Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and HealthUnlocked discussion forum, we give you the chance to connect online with other people who are affected by brain injury. The community is primarily for people with a brain injury, their family and carers, but anyone is welcome to join in the conversation.
"The online support forum, HealthUnlocked, has been absolutely amazing. I cried for an hour while reading the stories, and it provided a great platform to ask questions and have an non-judgemental conversation about brain injury."
Sometimes friendships formed online can develop into an offline relationship. The rise of online dating has contributed to this and can be a very helpful way for brain injury survivors to connect with others.
Headway Connect is an online, mobile-optimized HR portal that streamlines the entire employee experience. From offer management and onboarding to time and expense entry, approval, and employee documentation, Headway Connect does it all.

The goal is to support and encourage debate, education and research around the topics Headway addresses.
Though concerns remain about some aspects of companies providing online therapy services, many psychologists feel that the advantages of reaching patients desperate for care outweigh some of the rough edges. And with increasing numbers of experienced clinicians cautiously joining the ranks of these companies and sharing good and bad experiences, the more they can help influence the fledgling industry, boost their own careers, and connect with the patients whom they are best suited to help.
Online therapy services that pair people with clinicians for therapy, often practiced through live video, have grown astronomically over the past few years. A 2021 market analysis valued the online therapy market at more than $2.6 billion. In an APA survey from the same year, only 9% of surveyed psychologists reported seeing patients through a digital platform or app. This suggests that there is tremendous opportunity to expand mental health services via digital means while addressing the challenges that in-person care may present, such as burnout and provider shortages.
For busy psychologists at risk of burnout, online services may reduce the administrative burden as they grow their practices. For example, Headway, based in New York but whose therapists are located throughout the United States, handles benefits verification, claim submission, and payment collection, along with simplifying the insurance panel credentialing process for providers.
Psychologists can serve in different roles that help spread their expertise across online therapy services, including heading up content, driving the clinical model, advising on business and operating decisions, and ensuring clinical and product quality assurance. Some organizations, including Headspace Health, hire psychologists to train other clinicians on everything from measurement-based care to ensuring care is culturally responsive and affirming.
Headway expands access to in-network mental health care by removing the barriers faced by providers, health plans, and the patients they serve. Through custom-built technology, the Headway platform simplifies how providers, patients and health plans work together to deliver measurable, value-oriented care. More than 15,000 credentialed mental health providers across race, gender, ethnicity and specialty deliver quality care through Headway, which currently operates in 14 states and the District of Columbia. Patients can book care in just one click at headway.co, with most attending their first appointment in less than six days. Headway has received venture funding from top investors including Andreesen Horowitz, Accel, Thrive Capital, and GV (formerly Google Ventures). www.headway.co
When searching for the right online therapy provider, keep in mind the criteria that are valuable to you. In a survey completed by our reviews team in June 2023, more than 42 percent of people who have used online therapy stated that the most important factor they considered was whether the platform accepted their insurance.
Headway is an online therapy platform that requires insurance and has many providers available for appointments.

We used our collected data to develop a scorecard to evaluate the platforms we tested ourselves. Read more about how we researched and tested online therapy platforms in our online therapy review methodology.
Headway is a good option for affordable online therapy if it is available in your state. The cost depends on your insurance provider, but most users pay between $20 to $50 for a therapy session. Headway therapists can address various concerns, issues, and specialties, and you can often schedule same or next-day appointments. The main drawback of this platform is the difficulty of getting in contact with customer support.
Our DEIB facilitator training program is designed to disrupt the current model of diversity training, in which team members either take an online training course, or a consultant is hired when there are overt issues of bigotry within an organization. That reactive model of facilitation is ineffective. Having a capable facilitator on staff can help organizations foster an inclusive climate and avoid crises by modifying behavior to account for the neuroscience underlying bias and by engaging in productive discussions before a situation escalates.
We have a range of services to suit all budgets and requirements. Our online tuition and in home services are delivered by carefully selected and fully DBS checked educators who have a wealth of experience behind them as well as the full support of the Headway team.

BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- China has made headway in combating artifact-related crimes, with national procuratorial organs handling 11,402 public interest litigations relating to cultural heritage protection from January 2022 to September 2023, data from the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) shows.
Automated transit systems, wherein moderate-sized, driverless, vehicles traverseelevated guideways, are generally classified in accordance with two primarycharacteristicsminimum headway regime and type of station (offline or online).Minimum headway, the shortest time between passage of two vehicles past a fixed point, isa critical determinant of the type of service that can be offered, the scale of theguideway that can be emplaced, and the type of control system that can be employed toprevent collisions between vehicles.
The automated transit systems that have been installed in variousairports (with the exception of the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport), and in the cities of Kobe,Osaka, Miami, Detroit, Lille and Vancouver, have online stations and run at headways inexcess of 60 seconds. Two systems in the United States, the Morgantown system and theDallas/Fort Worth system, have offline stations and operate at minimum headways of 15seconds and 18 seconds respectively.
Fifteen seconds is generally considered the lower headway limit for systems employing"block" control systems, wherein safe vehicle separation is assured throughinteraction between vehicles and instrumentation located at discrete intervals along theright-of-way. Block control systems are feasible at shorter headways, but costs mountrapidly as headways decrease.
During the early part of the Seventies, there was much interest in shorter-headway transitsystems, as a possible means of effecting radical change in the type of transit serviceavailable in cities. Citywide guideway networks were envisioned, and advocates of thesesystems recommended development of new control and vehicle systems capable of operating atheadways substantially shorter than the Morgantown headway. In France, Germany andJapan, efforts were initiated to develop systems capable of operating at headways as lowas one-half to one second.
In the United States, the Department of Transportation (DOT) initiated development of athree-second headway automated transportation system. These developments receivedsubstantial resources from their respective governments and, in France, Germany and Japan,prototype systems were developed. However all these developments were ultimatelyabandoned.
Planning for the US effort was initiated in 1972 and the first contracts were awarded inearly 1975. The program, originally planned for execution in four years, continued for tenyears, experiencing during this period a long series of stretchouts, delays, reappraisals,scope modifications and funding revisions. In 1980, the Department of Transportationrescinded its request for funds for the development, but Congress insisted that theprogram proceed. A deadlock on this issue, between Congress and the Department, persisteduntil 1984 when congressional support was finally withdrawn.
In the middle Seventies, priorities within the DOT shifted from development of new shortheadway systems to installation, in cities, of small systems, consisting of several milesof already developed people movers designed to operate at conventional headways. Proposalsfor such installations were solicited from city governments and a program of substantialscope took shape. The short headway work was de-emphasized but was not eliminated. Theshift in emphasis of the DOT programfrom a development program aimed at a newcapability with potential for serving large cities, to an installation program for systemswith substantially lower passenger-carrying capability than rapid rail led to agrowing perception that substantial improvements in urban transportation through newtechnical means were not possible, although, in fact, no new information of either anexperimental or theoretical nature had been developed to illuminate this question.
During this period there was much debate on the merit (or lack of merit) of systemsoperating in the various headway regimes. An Office of Technology Assessment(OTA) report in 1975 stated that "No clear urban transportation need is apparent forthe short three-second headway performance specified for the (DOT) program." Asubsequent OTA report in 1980 found otherwise. Rapid rail spokesmen insisted that effortsin the direction of short headway systems were a waste of government resources.
Advocates of headways in the fractional-second range were strongly opposed to the DOT'sshort headway project, insisting that it was too conservative to lead to effectiveimprovements in public transportation. Advocates of people movers that operated at railsystem headways stated that improvements in automation were sufficient, without reachingfor exotic new control technologies capable of moving vehicles at short headways. In 1981,priorities within the DOT changed again. The people mover installation program wasdiscontinued. However installations already started in Detroit and Miami were completed.The development program continued until 1984, as already noted. By this time, Congress hadassembled, and was earmarking funds for a long list of fixed-guideway installations of itsown choosingall of the conventional type.
