Cabana

Digital platform for clinician mental health

Overview

Cabana is a digital mental health platform by Even Health that serves healthcare professionals by connecting them to mental health resources through professionally moderated peer groups. Organizations buy access for their staff, who can privately access support and peer discussions via Cabana or Third Room, with privacy, low cost, and convenience in mind. The platform differentiates itself by targeting healthcare workers and using moderated peer groups to provide both peer support and access to professional services. Even Health’s goal is to scale private mental health resources within organizations to encourage earlier engagement in well-being and reduce barriers to seeking care.
