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—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.

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

    Those results include:

    • a 50% reduction in turnover among engaged members3
    • 10x more engagement compared to traditional mental health resources4
    • A typical utilization of 30%5
    • Access to care in 1.1 days6 vs. 25 days7 with traditional solutions like medical plans or EAPs

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

    • 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
