History
URAWarrior was founded in greater New York in 2021 by Bershan Shaw. The concept originated from Shaw's personal experience with cancer. Faced with a prognosis of three months to live, Shaw, initially contending with depression, redirected her focus towards living and envisioned URAWarrior as a supportive platform for others navigating mental health challenges, particularly amid the heightened difficulties during the pandemic.[3]
URAWarrior is a secure platform for individuals to share, support, and inspire one another, addressing various mental health issues such as depression, grief, stress, LGBTQ+, substance abuse, and more. The platform includes professional virtual coaches to guide users on their growth journey, embodying a contemporary approach to fostering connections and communication.[4]
The app has positioned itself as a secure, positive, and inclusive mental health app that strives to counteract feelings of isolation. It has established the world's largest online therapy, coaching, and wellness ecosystem, providing a supportive community for users to share and seek assistance.[5]
On World Mental Health Day, October 10, 2023, URAWarrior introduced mobile apps for Android and iOS users, available in English.[6]
Concept
