Podcast #7 of 50 tech startup interviews. As a person dedicated to positive change, Regroup Therapy spoke to me. If you're a woman who has just given birth, or know a woman who has, this company should be particularly great.

More on Regroup Therapy
1 in 5 women suffers from mood or anxiety disorders either during or after pregnancy. Regroup therapy helps these ladies through group meetings over the internet (using a skype tool). Participants meet with a small group of 6-8 other ladies going through the same experience. Though they just launched several months ago, they're already helping around 1,000 users.
Group therapy helps their clients connect with other mothers who face a similar situation in the comfort of their own home. This is also extremely helpful because many mothers don't have childcare options or don't have the energy to leave their homes.
While not revolutionary, the process of group therapy over Skype is very new to me. It's positive and beneficial, and has the opportunity to save lives.
