Offering a new way to mental wellness

EAPs serve an essential role in helping with a broad spectrum of needs—but may best address more short-term, critical issues. That is why pairing the benefits of an EAP with a proactive, dedicated mental health solution like Spring Health helps provide ongoing support as needs evolve.  

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 have increased in the US, it’s important to continue to bring valuable solutions that meet the needs of today for our customers and their employees.

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

Phase	Spring Health	Typical EAP	Typical health plan/telehealth	Competitors
Initial triage	Proprietary assessment uses machine-learning technology to screen for 10 conditions	Members contact a member service rep	Members search for providers on a website	Members receive a limited clinical evaluation or brief assessment across a few conditions
Evaluation	Members receive the results of their assessment and a personalized care plan	No type of clinical evaluation is provided	No type of clinical evaluation is provided	Members receive a limited clinical evaluation or brief assessment across a few conditions
Navigation	Every member is provided a dedicated Care Navigator, a licensed mental health professional – who acts as an advocate and guide throughout their entire journey Live chat/message with Care Navigator available to members	Members can call into their customer service phone line to ask questions   Members typically cannot contact the same, dedicated rep multiple times	Members can call into their customer service phone line to ask questions   Members typically cannot contact the same, dedicated rep multiple times	A non-clinical coach typically steers members to coaching   Typically, high-touch navigation by a licensed therapist is not available

Even at the start, Spring Health can help create efficiencies while providing personalized, precise care. To see how Spring Health manages each touchpoint of an employee’s mental wellness journey, download the full Guardian + Spring Health Comparison Guide (PDF).

Though organizations’ investments in mental health resources have increased over the past few years, the positive effects have not yet been felt,³ perhaps because what they’re providing isn’t sufficient. In this webinar, speakers from Spring Health address: 

• Key components that make up an effective mental and behavioral health solution 
• Guardian’s latest partnership with Spring Health and how it can help support employees’ mental health
