Aetna International has extended its partnership with mental health platform Wysa.
The expanded partnership now provides Aetna members and brokers with access to Wysa Plus which provides employers with mental health support to cover the whole workforce.
This offers the same benefits beyond insured employees, providing greater access to anonymised reporting, insights and company-wide engagement campaigns.
Members and dependents will continue to benefit from unlimited free access to the Wysa app, including its premium and customised features, as well as dedicated human coaching which aims to help drive behaviour change or escalate issues accordingly.
Aetna first rolled out Wysa’s AI-bot, digital tools and coaching to its staff, members and brokers in early 2020 and it is now a fully embedded and integrated part of Aetna Mind.
Simon Miller, senior director of customer proposition at Aetna International, said: “We believe mental health belongs at the forefront of employee health and wellbeing initiatives, alongside physical health. That is why we are committed to improving access to mental wellbeing support for our members and employees globally.
“The extension of our relationship with Wysa allows us to provide easy access to mental health support at scale as we continue to navigate the new hybrid workplace post-pandemic.
“This means we can offer our members around-the-clock access to a variety of mental health resources, including talking therapy and one-to-one coaching delivered by qualified professionals.
“Through Wysa, we want to help employers and employees tackle mental health issues early on, as well as support their ongoing commitment to self-care in the workplace,” Miller added.
