That's why Spring Health provides managers with dedicated, on-demand learning resources and expert consultation support, empowering them to care for themselves and their teams effectively. 🌿

Providing #mentalhealth benefits and services as part of a comprehensive wellness program is just the beginning. Companies must also consider communication, leadership, and #culture as they strive to support their people. Here are 3 strategies to start from our Chief People Officer Karishma Patel Buford that she shared in her latest article for Fast Company. ⭐️ Inspire commitment, not compliance. Strong leaders connect with their team members to earn their commitment as opposed to a top-down approach in which #managers demand results. When employees buy-in to the wider mission and impact of their work, they will give their best because they want to, not because they have to. ⭐️ Try asking this at the end of every meeting. At the end of every one-on-one, I ask, “How can I support you?” ”I can’t tell you the relief I have seen on people’s faces when I have asked this,” Karishma says. “As importantly, I act upon what I am told. If a team member tells me they are overwhelmed, we discuss how we can reprioritize. If someone is having trouble with a colleague, my role as a leader is to facilitate steps to repair the relationship.” ⭐️ Take a data-driven approach to employee wellbeing. Spring Health collects real-time employee data, for our own organization and our customers. Managers with three direct reports or more get access to this data, which is organized around a science-backed framework we call Thriving.

Join us on 7/24 for a candid conversation about men's mental health at work, facilitated by Spring Health's Director of Clinical Partnerships, Neal Kennington; and Sharecare's Director of Behavior, Health & Engagement, Dr. Beth LaGrange!

Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, the U.S. Surgeon General, thinks it’s time that #socialmedia comes with a warning label, bringing attention to the mental health impacts on #teens. His recent op ed in the The New York Times highlighted some troubling findings: 🚨 Adolescents who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media face double the risk of anxiety and depression symptoms. (JAMA Psychiatry) 🚨 Half of adolescents say social media makes them feel worse about their bodies. (Boston Children’s Digital Wellness Lab) Adding the warning that Dr. Murthy recommends would require congressional action. In the meantime, it’s absolutely critical that teens have access to #mentalhealth care. 🌿 At Spring Health, we’ve created a safe, approachable experience that meets teens where they’re at. Right from their smartphones, teens can take a quick clinical assessment, book appointments with top therapists and coaches, and access a range of self-guided exercises designed to enhance skills like emotional regulation and manage stressors like body image and relationship issues.

It might seem obvious... But having a safe place to live plays an essential role in mental health. 🏠 According to a 2024 study published in JAMA Psychiatry, two-thirds of unhoused people are experiencing some form of mental health condition, including substance use disorders, antisocial personality disorders, major depression and general mood disorders. The link between #housing and #mentalhealth is complex. People with mental illness are at a higher risk of experiencing homelessness—and experiencing homelessness can worsen mental health. It turns into a vicious cycle that can be hard to escape. Addressing this social determinant of health is crucial to bring mental health care to the 650,000+ experiencing homelessness in the U.S. ➡️ Our Community Care solution does just that, providing whole-person support tackling the social and economic factors that influence health outcomes. Here’s how it works. 1. Members take a dynamic mental health assessment that screens for essential, social needs. 2. Based on the results, members will receive personalized recommendations for local resources to support their needs. 3. Members receive personalized assistance through our team of experienced Community Care Advocates or they can access self-service options. 4. Employers and partners receive comprehensive reporting, including utilization data and confirmation of members’ engagement with resources. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gm774saZ
