Total Mental Health, the first service of its kind in Europe, will provide users with continuous Mental Health and Wellbeing supports, including unlimited on-demand access to a personal Mental Health Coach and open-ended therapy, all at the touch of a button.
With the rise of hybrid and remote working, Spectrum.Life has seen an increase in employees struggling with mental health issues due to isolation and anxiety. Research shows that only 1 in 4 people who need mental health support are currently engaging with the care they need. There is still a perceived stigma around accessing support. Many people don’t know where to turn for help and are hit with long waiting times when they finally do.
“As we see from current waiting lists, the public health system isn’t coping with current levels of demand. We’re bridging that gap,” says Dr. Sarah O’Neill, Spectrum.Life’s Chief Clinical Officer. “Different people have different mental health needs at different times. Total Mental Health overcomes the barriers to seeking support and makes it easy for them to access the correct supports for their situation – whether that’s self-directed care, Mental Health Coaching, Therapy or more specialist care.”
Stephen Costello, CEO of Spectrum.Life, highlights that there is currently an unmet need for enhanced Mental Health support “This is something that both employers and insurers have been asking for. While there’s still room for a traditional Employee Assistance Program (EAP), many of our customers have expressed a need for something greater, which enables them to care for the mental health and wellbeing of their employees and members, no matter what challenges they may be facing.”
Alison Platt who recently joined Spectrum.Life as a Non-Executive Director and also holds a number of Non-Executive Director positions in the UK, including Tesco plc added “As employers navigate the new working world, one of the major topics of discussion in boardrooms across the UK is combating employee burnout and supporting the mental health of their staff who may be working partly or fully remote. Total Mental Health is the perfect solution to this challenge, providing tailored support to enable businesses to connect their employees with the services they need.”
On launch, Total Mental Health will provide a complete range of Mental Health and Wellbeing supports, including:
- Unlimited access to live and on-demand Mental Health Coaches
- Open-ended Therapy, as required.
- Unlimited access to Mental Fitness tools, exercises and personalised paths.
- Advanced Mental Health Concierge Team to support referral and guidance to specialist care, where required.
- Unlimited 24/7 access to a qualified mental health team.
Total Mental Health supports the entire spectrum of mental health and wellbeing and will benefit every single employee in an organisation.
