“The Headspace Health unified experience is all about making it easier to engage with mental health and wellness services and to be kind to your mind, regardless of where you are on your mental health journey,” said Russell Glass, CEO of Headspace Health. “Companies trust that Headspace Health can address employees’ mental health needs across the spectrum, but importantly, will lead with prevention to address challenges before they become acute and costly.”
"Headspace has played a pivotal role in destigmatizing mental health for over a decade, making meditation and mindfulness accessible, approachable, effective and affordable," said Leslie Witt, chief product and design officer of Headspace Health. "With our unified experience, we're now leveraging Headspace as the front door to a full suite of evidence-based mental health services - from a broad array of self-care tools to fuel wellbeing and healthy habits, to a range of human services, from coaching through psychiatric care, to address more acute needs. This approach allows us to support every employee - and their families - throughout their life journey, and to flexibly scale and adapt to their mental health needs as they evolve."
Headspace Health will be sharing more about the unified experience today at Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, where Glass will participate in a fireside chat on the role of technology in addressing the global mental health crisis. In addition, Headspace Health will participate at the HLTH conference in Las Vegas, NV, November 13-16th, where attendees can visit booth #5232 to learn more about Headspace Health and its offerings.
