How we’re helping

Mental health continues to be a key factor in creating a supportive and productive workplace. It’s essential for both people leaders and employees to be well equipped to navigate these challenges. To help you, we offer free tools that make it easier to help train your people leaders and employees.

  • Training Videos: Our mental health training videos help by providing practical strategies and guidance for your people leaders. This will help them recognize mental health issues in the workplace and reduce stigma.
  • Strategy Toolkit: We also offer our Mental Health Strategy Toolkit. It outlines actionable steps to create a workplace that prioritizes mental well-being.

You have access to Lumino Health Virtual Care

You already have access to Lumino Health Virtual Care (Primary Care), provided by Dialogue, as part of your plan. It offers your employees 24/7 access to professional health care. Support is available for a variety of concerns including physical, medical, and mental health needs. You can use this flyer to promote it in your workplace.

To enhance your virtual care program, we have:

  • Stress Management and Well-Being: A valuable add-on to primary care. It offers mental health treatment until remission with no out-of-pocket costs.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): EAP offers access to mental health practitioners for screening, short-term coaching, and referrals as needed. It also includes support for a broad range of work and life areas and offers coaching for people leaders.
