But what about existing resources that offer access to well-being services, like Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)?

EAPs serve an essential role in helping with a broad spectrum of needs—and excel at addressing more short-term, critical mental wellness issues. With 40% of Americans saying that the pandemic has negatively impacted their emotional health,2 a reactive approach may not be enough.

As mental health needs increase, it’s important to offer clients valuable solutions that meet the needs of today while helping them stay prepared as those needs change. That’s why pairing the benefits of an EAP with a proactive, dedicated mental health solution like Spring Health helps provide ongoing support as the state of workforce mental health evolves.

Spring Health, a leader in mental healthcare, differentiates itself from other traditional and competitive solutions by providing immediate access, personalized and precise care, and real results.

Take a look at how Spring Health handles initial triage, evaluation, and navigation of mental health care compared to other options:
