mentalis closes gaps in care in the field of mental health. Our goal is to help people with mental illnesses directly, quickly, and with high quality.

The idea for mentalis emerged from over a decade of intensive research: Dr. Christian Aljoscha Lukas, a psychologist and long-time researcher at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, has been working for more than 10 years on how digital interventions can effectively help people with mental illnesses.

mentalis was founded to translate this scientific knowledge into practical applications.

mentalis offers a hybrid care approach combining therapeutic apps with psychological telephone conversations, which are immediately accessible and without waiting times for patients. Trained psychologists accompany and motivate patients in using the therapy app and support them in returning to everyday life.

They provide care programs for adults and youth, including aftercare programs to ease the return to daily life after hospital stays and immediate help for young people from 13 years old.

The company is a spin-off of Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, emphasizing the scientific basis of its work and focusing on the well-being of patients.
