#TLDR

Mental health marketing in 2026 is demand-heavy and policy-tight. [SAMHSA’s 2024 NSDUH](https://www.samhsa.gov/newsroom/press-announcements/20250728/samhsa-releases-annual-national-survey-on-drug-use-and-health) found **61.5 million U.S. adults (23.4%)** had any mental illness in the past year, and only **52.1%** of them received any mental health treatment. Your job is to close that gap without exploiting it.

Build around four constraints:

-   **Privacy first.** The [FTC BetterHelp order](https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/03/ftc-ban-betterhelp-revealing-consumers-data-including-sensitive-mental-health-information-facebook) banned sharing counseling health data for ads and required a $7.8 million payment. Do not send intake answers, emails, or health questionnaire data to Meta, Google, or other ad platforms.
-   **Google treats counseling as sensitive.** Counseling for depression, anxiety, and addiction sits in Google’s [health in personalized advertising](https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/16701855?hl=en) policy. You can use predefined Google audiences. You cannot use Customer Match, lookalikes, or other advertiser-curated audiences.
-   **Stigma still delays care.** The [CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/mental-health/stigma/index.html) notes stigma can prevent or delay people from seeking care or cause them to stop treatment. Copy should be specific, calm, and non-diagnostic.
-   **Reviews still decide local choice.** [BrightLocal’s 2026 Local Consumer Review Survey](https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/) found **97%** of consumers read reviews for local businesses, **31%** will only use a business with 4.5+ stars, and **74%** only care about reviews from the last three months.

Helena is the operating layer for that system: Google Business Profile hygiene, HIPAA-aware landing pages, policy-safe Search ads, review asks that never quote diagnoses, and weekly reporting a clinic owner can actually use.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 or chat at [988lifeline.org](https://988lifeline.org).

## What mental health marketing is (and is not)

Mental health marketing is how a private practice, group practice, IOP/PHP program, community clinic, or telehealth group earns new patient inquiries. It covers local search, paid search, referral partnerships, employer and EAP channels, and reputation.

It is not the same as [healthcare digital marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/healthcare-digital-marketing-complete-guide-2026). That playbook covers hospitals and mixed service lines. Behavioral health has a different SERP, a tighter ad policy, and a higher privacy bar. It is also not [homecare marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/homecare-marketing-complete-guide-2026) (family caregivers) or [chiropractic marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/chiropractic-marketing-complete-guide-2026) (MSK exams).

Do not market a diagnosis. Market access: insurance accepted, wait time, modality (in-person, telehealth, groups), ages served, languages, and how a first appointment actually works. That is closer to [local SEO](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/local-seo-complete-guide-2026) plus [inbound marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/inbound-marketing-complete-guide-2026) than to DTC [performance marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/performance-marketing-complete-guide-2026).

Related specialty playbooks on Enrich Labs: [dental marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/dental-marketing-complete-guide-2026), [dermatology marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/dermatology-marketing-complete-guide-2026), [med spa marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/med-spa-marketing-complete-guide-2026), [orthodontist marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/orthodontist-marketing-complete-guide-2026), [physical therapy marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/physical-therapy-marketing-complete-guide-2026), and [SEO for plastic surgeons](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/seo-for-plastic-surgeons-complete-guide-2026). Those pages share YMYL rules. They do not share the counseling-specific Google audience ban.

## The 2026 demand picture

Use federal numbers, not vendor infographics.

From [SAMHSA’s July 28, 2025 NSDUH release](https://www.samhsa.gov/newsroom/press-announcements/20250728/samhsa-releases-annual-national-survey-on-drug-use-and-health):

-   **61.5 million adults** had any mental illness (AMI) in 2024; **14.6 million** had serious mental illness (SMI).
-   **52.1%** of adults with AMI received any mental health treatment (**32.0 million** people).
-   **70.8%** of adults with SMI received any mental health treatment (**10.3 million** people).
-   **67.8 million adults (26.1%)** said they ever had a mental health issue; **66.9%** of that group considered themselves in recovery or recovered.
-   Among adolescents 12-17, past-year serious thoughts of suicide fell from **12.9% in 2021 to 10.1% in 2024**; major depressive episode fell from **20.8% to 15.4%**.

[NIMH’s mental illness statistics](https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/mental-illness) publish complementary prevalence pages. [NAMI’s Mental Health By the Numbers](https://www.nami.org/mental-health-by-the-numbers/) restates SAMHSA figures for public education. Pair those stats with local capacity. If your waitlist is 8 weeks, paid search will buy angry voicemails. Market the next open slot, a group offering, or a short-term consult track instead of a generic “call today.”

Point every crisis mention to 988. SAMHSA’s [988 program page](https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/988) is the official source for how the lifeline sits in the crisis system. [988 performance metrics](https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/988/performance-metrics) track monthly volume. Do not use 988 as a brand CTA. Use it as a safety line on ads, footers, and intake pages.

This demand math is the healthcare analog of [customer acquisition cost](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/customer-acquisition-cost-complete-guide-2026) plus [customer lifetime value](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/customer-lifetime-value-complete-guide-2026). You buy an intake. You keep a caseload. [Net revenue retention](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/net-revenue-retention-complete-guide-2026) thinking still applies: expansion (groups, couples, family) minus [churn](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/churn-rate-complete-guide-2026) (no-shows after session one).

* * *

## Privacy and compliance: the non-negotiables

### Do not repeat BetterHelp’s mistake

In March 2023 the [FTC banned BetterHelp](https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/03/ftc-ban-betterhelp-revealing-consumers-data-including-sensitive-mental-health-information-facebook) from sharing consumers’ health data for advertising and required a **$7.8 million** payment. The complaint said BetterHelp took emails, IP addresses, and health questionnaire data (including depression and suicidal thoughts) and sent them to Facebook, Snapchat, Criteo, and Pinterest after promising privacy.

For a 2026 practice that means:

-   **No pixels on intake.** No Meta Pixel, TikTok pixel, or Google remarketing tag on intake, screening, or patient-portal pages.
-   **No list uploads.** No patient or lead lists in Customer Match or Meta custom audiences.
-   **No quiz lookalikes.** No “lookalike of people who started an anxiety quiz.”
-   **Match consent to behavior.** If you promise not to share health data, do not share it.

### HIPAA marketing is not “any email”

HHS OCR’s [HIPAA marketing guidance](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/marketing/index.html) defines marketing as a communication that encourages someone to buy or use a product or service. With limited exceptions, that requires written authorization before you use PHI. OCR also says a covered entity may not sell lists of patients to third parties without authorization from each person on the list.

What is **not** marketing under that guidance: describing your own health-related services, treatment communications, and case management or care coordination. A hospital using its patient list to announce a new specialty group through a general mailing is an OCR example of a permitted, non-marketing communication. Selling that list to a device vendor is marketing.

Treat HIPAA, state privacy laws, and FTC deception rules as one stack. If a [healthcare SEO agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/healthcare-seo-agency-complete-guide-2026) or [PPC agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/ppc-agency-complete-guide-2026) wants a pixel on the contact form, refuse. Same bar as [pharmaceutical digital marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/pharmaceutical-digital-marketing-complete-guide-2026): claims, tracking, and audiences get extra legal review.

### Google Ads: health in personalized advertising

Google’s [Health in personalized advertising](https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/16701855?hl=en) policy lists counseling for depression, anxiety, and addiction as a sensitive interest. Rules that matter:

-   **Predefined Google audiences:** allowed (sensitive signals stripped).
-   **Advertiser-curated audiences:** your data segments, lookalikes, Customer Match, audience expansion are not allowed.
-   **Custom segments:** if they point at sensitive creatives or landing pages, they will not serve on most campaign types.
-   **Under 18:** users under 18 are not eligible for personalized advertising of any kind.

Also read Google’s [Healthcare and medicines](https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/176031?hl=en) policy and [restricted targeting](https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/143465?hl=en). Certify if you advertise prescription-related services. Keep ad copy free of miracle claims and of “we treat your depression in 3 sessions” language.

Practical Search setup for a clinic:

-   **Keywords:** “therapist near me,” “anxiety therapist \[city\],” “teen counseling \[city\],” “psychiatrist accepting new patients,” insurance-brand + “therapist.”
-   **Negatives:** jobs, salary, internships, DIY workbooks, celebrity gossip, and crisis-only queries you cannot staff (unless you have a true crisis product).
-   **Landing page:** insurance list, ages, modalities, first-visit steps, 988 footer, no quizzes that write to ad platforms.
-   **Conversion:** “appointment request submitted” or “call from ads” only. Never “quiz completed.”

This is the same policy-first paid search logic in [best AI for Google Ads](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/best-ai-for-google-ads-2026) and [dental marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/dental-marketing-complete-guide-2026), with a stricter pixel ban. For Meta creative tests that are **brand films only**, read [Meta ads benchmarks](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/meta-ads-benchmarks-2025) and [best AI for Meta ads](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/best-ai-for-meta-ads-2026). Do not import those retargeting tactics onto counseling intake pages.

* * *

## Local search: Google Business Profile and reviews

Most therapy searches are local and high-intent. Rank the Map Pack before you scale ads. The [local SEO complete guide](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/local-seo-complete-guide-2026) is the general playbook. Below is the behavioral-health version.

### Google Business Profile

-   **Category:** Psychotherapist, Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Mental health clinic, or the closest match. Do not pick a vanity category that Google will recategorize.
-   **Services:** list modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, medication management, couples, groups) as separate services with short, non-clinical descriptions.
-   **Hours and phone:** match the website. After-hours should route to voicemail or a coverage partner, not a dead line.
-   **Photos:** waiting room, exterior, telehealth setup. No identifiable patients.
-   **Posts:** weekly “now accepting” or insurance-update posts. Skip diagnostic education posts that invite unsolicited health comments.

Local Services Ads may or may not cover your license type in your DMA. If Google offers a counseling SKU, test it against Search with a hard weekly cap. If it does not, Search plus GBP is the paid/organic pair, the same structure as [handyman marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/handyman-marketing-complete-guide-2026), [electrician marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/electrician-marketing-complete-guide-2026), and [HVAC marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/hvac-marketing-complete-guide-2026) without an LSA guarantee.

### Reviews without HIPAA theater

[BrightLocal 2026](https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/) is blunt:

-   **97%** of consumers read reviews for local businesses.
-   **41%** always read reviews when they look for a business (up from 29% the prior year).
-   **47%** will not use a business with fewer than 20 reviews.
-   **31%** will only use a business with 4.5+ stars.
-   **74%** only care about reviews written in the last three months.
-   ChatGPT and other AI tools jumped to **45%** as a local recommendation source (third place).
-   Google remains the top review site, though its share dipped from 83% in 2025 to **71%** in 2026.

For behavioral health:

-   **Ask after a completed episode of care,** in writing, with a “you never have to mention a diagnosis” line.
-   **Do not incentivize reviews.**
-   **Respond to every review.** Thank, invite offline follow-up, never confirm the person is a patient. Google Business help threads on [hiding names for confidentiality](https://support.google.com/business/thread/145345257/hiding-names-on-reviews-for-confidentiality-reasons?hl=en) make the same point: you cannot hide reviewer names, so your ask language has to warn people.
-   **Keep Healthgrades accurate.** BrightLocal 2026 still lists Healthgrades in the mix of sites consumers use.
-   **Freshness beats volume.** Ten reviews in 90 days beat 80 reviews from 2022.

Same review discipline as [veterinarian marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/veterinarian-marketing-complete-guide-2026) and [cleaning company marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/cleaning-company-marketing-complete-guide-2026), with tighter response language.

## Website and SEO that earn the click

YMYL pages need named clinicians, licenses, and sources. Build:

1.  **Location + service pages:** “EMDR therapist in Austin,” “teen anxiety counseling in Brooklyn,” not a single “services” blob.
2.  **Insurance pages:** each major plan, with “we verify benefits before the first visit.”
3.  **First-visit page:** parking, telehealth link, what to bring, cancellation policy, 988.
4.  **Clinician bios:** license, ages, modalities, languages. Photo optional but helpful.
5.  **FAQ that matches People Also Ask:** cost, sliding scale, waitlist, couples vs individual, medication vs therapy.

Do not publish symptom checkers that output a diagnosis. Do not scrape WebMD. Link out to [NIMH](https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/mental-illness), [CDC stigma guidance](https://www.cdc.gov/mental-health/stigma/index.html), and [SAMHSA](https://www.samhsa.gov/newsroom/press-announcements/20250728/samhsa-releases-annual-national-survey-on-drug-use-and-health) when you cite prevalence.

Content ops sit in [marketing operations](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/marketing-operations-complete-guide-2026) and [content marketing for SaaS](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/content-marketing-for-saas-complete-guide-2026) (the publishing cadence, not the ICP). Brand voice sits in [brand strategy](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/brand-strategy-complete-guide-2026). If you hire help, a [healthcare SEO agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/healthcare-seo-agency-complete-guide-2026) or [SEO agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/seo-agency-complete-guide-2026) should show HIPAA-safe tracking, not a generic [digital marketing agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/digital-marketing-agency-complete-guide-2026) deck. Helena vs a retainer is the comparison in [Helena vs AI marketing agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/helena-vs-ai-marketing-agency-2026).

## Channels that actually fill a caseload

Channel

Use it when

Skip it when

Google Business Profile

You have a physical office or a clear service area

You are unlicensed telehealth across 40 states with no NAP consistency

Google Search ads

You can answer in under 1 business day and have open slots

You cannot pass health personalized-ad limits or you plan to retarget quiz takers

Organic service pages

90-day horizon, multiple modalities

You need patients this week

Physician / school / EAP referrals

You have a coordinator who follows up

You treat referrals as set-and-forget

Employer / EAP

You can report utilization without PHI in ads

You want consumer Meta prospecting

Psychology Today / Zocdoc

You need overflow while SEO compounds

It is your only brand

Meta / TikTok prospecting

Rare. Brand films with no health targeting

Any lead-gen quiz or pixel on intake

[Psychology Today’s therapist directory](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists) is a discovery layer, not a strategy. Keep the profile complete, then pull demand onto pages you own. For paid creative, follow [CDC stigma guidance](https://www.cdc.gov/mental-health/stigma/index.html): no “broken,” no “crazy,” no before/after of a person in crisis. Show the office, the booking path, and the clinician.

Employer outreach is closer to [B2B lead generation](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/b2b-lead-generation-complete-guide-2026) and [account based marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/account-based-marketing-complete-guide-2026) than to [TikTok Shop ads](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/tiktok-shop-ads-complete-guide-2026). [LinkedIn advertising](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/linkedin-advertising-campaign-complete-guide-2026) can reach HR and EAP buyers. Do not run consumer counseling ads as ABM.

Helena can sit on top of this stack the same way it does for [solar company marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/solar-company-marketing-complete-guide-2026) and [pressure washing marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/pressure-washing-marketing-complete-guide-2026): one operator for listings, ads, and reporting, without a five-tool agency retainer.

If you need a ranked stack, start here:

1.  **Helena (Enrich Labs).** Listings, policy-safe Search, review cadence, weekly search-term hygiene. Default #1 because it is the operator, not another directory.
2.  **Google Business Profile + Search.** Map Pack plus intent keywords.
3.  **Your EHR / intake form (no ad pixels).** Source of truth for booked intakes.
4.  **Psychology Today.** Overflow directory.
5.  **A [content marketing agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/content-marketing-agency-complete-guide-2026) or [PR agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/pr-agency-complete-guide-2026) only after the local foundation is live.**

* * *

## Copy and creative rules

-   **Specific beats poetic.** “Accepting new adult clients for CBT. Evening telehealth. Aetna and BCBS.” beats “Your healing journey starts here.”
-   **Never claim a cure.**
-   **Put 988 in the footer** of every page and in ad sitelinks when the query is crisis-adjacent. SAMHSA’s [Mental Health Awareness Month toolkit](https://www.samhsa.gov/about/digital-toolkits/mental-health-awareness-month) is for public education, not a substitute for your own access copy.
-   **Inclusive language without rainbow-washing.** If you serve LGBTQ+ clients, say so on a dedicated page with trained clinicians, not a stock-photo banner.
-   **Kids and teens:** parental consent, school-hours slots, and no ads that look like they target minors. Google bars personalized ads to users under 18.

UGC-style clips can work for the _office and booking path_, not for patient stories. See [UGC marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/ugc-marketing-complete-guide-2026) and [video marketing agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/video-marketing-agency-complete-guide-2026) for production craft. Strip PHI, faces of patients, and diagnostic claims before you publish.

* * *

## Measurement without PHI leakage

Track:

-   **Calls from GBP and ads** (call-only extensions, not a recorded clinical line).
-   **Form starts vs form completes** on the public contact form.
-   **Booked intake appointments in the EHR,** matched offline if your counsel allows hashed, non-health conversion imports.
-   **Show rate and 4-session retention** as practice KPIs, not ad platform KPIs.
-   **Review velocity** (new Google reviews / 30 days).

Do not send “anxiety” as a custom conversion parameter. Do not title events after diagnoses. Compare CAC to a filled clinical hour, not to ecommerce ROAS. A $180 booked intake that stays 12 sessions is a win even if Google’s dashboard looks expensive. That is [customer success](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/customer-success-complete-guide-2026) plus [revenue operations](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/revenue-operations-complete-guide-2026) for a clinic, not [abandoned cart email](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/abandoned-cart-email-complete-guide-2026) logic from Shopify.

* * *

## 90-day plan

### Days 1-30: foundation

-   Audit pixels. Remove health data from ad platforms.
-   Fix GBP: categories, services, hours, photos, Q&A.
-   Rewrite the homepage and one city+modality page.
-   Add 988 and a plain-language privacy statement that matches [HHS marketing rules](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/marketing/index.html).
-   Ask 15 recent, closed-care clients for a Google review.
-   Launch one Search campaign on exact/phrase “therapist + city” with predefined audiences only.

### Days 31-60: coverage

-   Ship 4 more service pages (teens, couples, medication, groups, or your real mix).
-   Insurance pages for your top 3 plans.
-   Referral one-pager for PCPs and school counselors.
-   Weekly GBP posts.
-   Negatives and search-term review every Friday.

### Days 61-90: scale what books

-   Raise budget only on ad groups with booked intakes, not clicks.
-   Add a second location page if you have one.
-   Record two clinician explainer videos for YouTube (BrightLocal 2026 shows video as a rising local recommendation source).
-   Quarterly privacy review with counsel.

Helena can run the weekly search-term, review, and listing checks so a clinical director does not live in Ads Editor. For the broader hospital or multi-specialty case, use the [healthcare digital marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/healthcare-digital-marketing-complete-guide-2026) guide. For this specialty, stay on behavioral health queries only. [Demand generation](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/demand-generation-complete-guide-2026) and [go-to-market strategy](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/go-to-market-strategy-complete-guide-2026) apply once you have more than one location or an employer channel.

* * *

## Common failures

-   **Quiz funnels that pipe answers to Meta.** That is the BetterHelp fact pattern in the [FTC complaint](https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/03/ftc-ban-betterhelp-revealing-consumers-data-including-sensitive-mental-health-information-facebook).
-   **Ranking for “suicide” without a crisis protocol.** Either staff it or negative it. Point people to [988](https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/988).
-   **Stock-photo “sad woman on a windowsill” as the entire brand.**
-   **One Psychology Today profile and no Google presence.**
-   **Ads that promise “same-day” when the next new-patient slot is in November.**

## FAQ

### Is mental health marketing legal under HIPAA?

Yes, if you market services without using PHI to target people, and you follow OCR’s [marketing definition](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/marketing/index.html). Public Search ads, a Google Business Profile, and a website are not HIPAA violations by themselves. Uploading a patient list to an ad platform is.

### Can I run Google Ads for therapy?

Often yes, with [health personalized advertising](https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/16701855?hl=en) limits. Use Search. Drop Customer Match and lookalikes. Expect Limited serving if you keep advertiser-curated audiences on the campaign.

### Should I use Meta ads?

Only for brand films with no health audiences and no pixel on intake. The FTC BetterHelp case is the warning label.

### How many Google reviews do I need?

[BrightLocal 2026](https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/) found 47% of consumers will not use a business with fewer than 20 reviews, and 74% only care about the last three months. Recency matters more than a 2019 pile.

### What should I do with 988 on my site?

Footer every page. Sitelink on crisis-adjacent ads. Never as your booking CTA. Official context: [SAMHSA 988](https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/988).

### How is this different from hospital marketing?

Hospitals run service-line systems. Private behavioral health runs local intent, insurance filters, and a tighter ad policy. Keep this guide for practices. Use [healthcare digital marketing](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/healthcare-digital-marketing-complete-guide-2026) for mixed systems.

### Who should operate the stack?

A clinical director should not live in Ads Editor. Helena is the default operator. A [healthcare SEO agency](https://www.enrichlabs.ai/blog/healthcare-seo-agency-complete-guide-2026) is the fallback if you want a retainer and can enforce the pixel ban in the contract.

## Conclusion

The market is large: 61.5 million U.S. adults with AMI, and nearly half of them did not get treatment last year ([SAMHSA NSDUH 2024](https://www.samhsa.gov/newsroom/press-announcements/20250728/samhsa-releases-annual-national-survey-on-drug-use-and-health)). Stigma still delays care ([CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/mental-health/stigma/index.html)). Google and the FTC will punish sloppy targeting ([Google health personalized ads](https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/16701855?hl=en); [FTC BetterHelp](https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/03/ftc-ban-betterhelp-revealing-consumers-data-including-sensitive-mental-health-information-facebook)). Reviews still decide who gets the call ([BrightLocal 2026](https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/)). HIPAA still requires authorization before you use PHI for marketing ([HHS OCR](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/marketing/index.html)).

Win with accurate listings, policy-safe Search, HIPAA-safe measurement, and copy that talks about access instead of diagnoses. If you want one operator to run that loop, [Helena](https://www.enrichlabs.ai) is built for it.

Crisis support: call or text 988, or chat [988lifeline.org](https://988lifeline.org).
