We are excited to announce that Headspace, the provider of the world’s most accessible, comprehensive digital mental health system, has officially joined the apree health ecosystem of partners.
According to the Business Group on Health’s 2024 Large Employer Health Care Strategy Survey, the demand for mental health support in the workplace is higher than ever before. By welcoming Headspace into our ecosystem of partners, we are providing our collective employers and health plans with expanded access to mental health resources. Starting today, apree and Headspace customers will have the option to integrate the full suite of Headspace offerings, including evidence-based mental health and mindfulness content, 1:1 mental health coaching, therapy and psychiatry, as well as work-life services, and benefit from:
- Personalized, data-driven recommendations, providing support for removing barriers to behavioral healthcare at any acuity level or unique situation
- Increased engagement through the platform via advocacy, activation and engagement, including education on Headspace and how it can guide members on their care journey, through the existing portal employees already use for benefits and other digital solutions
- Incentivization, including tying rewards to meaningful moments on members’ individual behavioral health journeys, encouraging the healthiest outcomes and behavior change
- Simplified procurement to ease implementation along with flexible billing through apree health and claims billing for clinical services.
The integration between Headspace and apree is seamless and bidirectional. Members can access Headspace’s resources directly through apree’s Castlight app through a link-out to the Headspace app. In addition, our agreement includes pre-built micro-behaviors to encourage engagement and drive meaningful behavior change.
“Amidst America’s mental health crisis, gaining access to essential mental health resources remains an uphill battle. Welcoming Headspace to our robust set of partners moves us further towards removing these barriers. Together, we’re committed to forging pathways to mental well-being, unlocking boundaries and supporting individuals on their personal journeys through life.” said Kristin Hall, VP of Clinical Programs and Patient Experience at apree health.
apree health and Headspace both believe in providing personalized care, giving our members the best resources and access. Headspace’s comprehensive offering provides real-time, 24/7 access to mental health support for every moment of need. Further, both apree health and Headspace believe in a team-based care model, ensuring that members receive the right level of care at the right time, avoiding unnecessary treatment, lowering costs and helping them get better, faster.
“According to data from Headspace, 73% of employees report regularly using their mental health benefits. It’s crucial that we are able to connect them with the right level of care to fit their individual needs – no matter where they are on their mental health and well-being journey.” said Katie DiPerna Cook, senior vice president of partnerships at Headspace. “We’re thrilled to be integrating Headspace’s comprehensive suite of offerings into apree health’s partner ecosystem, empowering apree’s members to take a more holistic approach to their healthcare and wellbeing.”
