Through personal hardships and difficulties finding a great mental health service provider in Indonesia, Matt and Andre started Bicarakan.id to help fellow Indonesians realize the importance of counseling and getting help from a mental health professional. Check out our interview with the co-founders on helping people overcome their mental challenges.

P: How has your company/business benefited from Android and Google Play?
A&M: Google Play helped us distribute our app to Indonesian users and increased Bicarakan’s awareness and appointments more than 5x during the independence day campaign which promotes mental health as essential to our overall well-being. We are able to assist more people than ever and spread awareness that if you feel overwhelmed or lost, it’s normal to seek help from professionals.
P: What plans do you have in the future for Bicarakan.id?
A&M: As an analogy, we have the “vitamins”, “medicines”, and “antibiotics” needed for optimum psychological care. For vitamins, we plan to keep producing quality psychology-related educational content such as our Podcast Angkat Bicara. For medicines, we plan to keep building our services such as e-journaling & breathing exercises feature, so that our users are able to build good mental health habits. And for antibiotics, of course we’ll keep on optimizing the psychological care service that we’re giving to our users right now, strengthening our team of psychologists, and expanding so that we’re able to serve all of Indonesia and beyond.
