Healix has announced the introduction of mental health services to support business travellers.
As part of Healix’s emergency services offering, clients now have around the clock telephone access to confidential mental health support for their employees via Telus Health counsellors.
The service aims to help organisations proactively support the wellbeing of their teams and provide mental health support in times of crisis, whether their people are on a business trip or a long-term overseas assignment.
Healix’s service provides support for common work, health and life difficulties through counselling, risk assessment and self-directed online programs.
The service will be delivered via experienced counsellors from Telus Health – a global healthcare provider serving people in more than 160 countries, delivering both digital innovation and clinical services to improve physical, mental and financial health and wellness.
Charlie Butcher, CEO at Healix International (pictured) said: “Our mantra is to help our clients safeguard the wellbeing and security of their people and operations, wherever they are in the world; from helping them understand and prepare for risks, to supporting them when the worst happens.
“Extending our services gives our clients the option to fulfil their duty of care to team members working away from home by supporting their mental wellbeing and providing appropriate care in times of crisis.”
