Spring Health joins the Alight Partner Network to close the gap between mental health benefits and mental health care, reaching more than 30 million people. DEERFIELD, Ill.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading benefits administration provider of health, wealth and leave solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to bring mental health support into the Alight Partner Network with Spring Health, a global mental health company built on one AI-native platform. The Alight Partner Network offers a curated ecosystem of solutions designed to help employers deliver a more connected and engaging employee experience. By integrating Spring Health into the Alight Worklife(R) platform, which generates more than 210 million annual interactions across health, wealth and leave programs, the collaboration is designed to surface mental health support earlier, at the moments employees need it most. Through Spring Health, employees can access the full spectrum of mental health support - from self-guided tools and coaching to therapy, medication management, and crisis care - accessible via the benefits platform they already use. For employers, the integration closes the gap between delivering a benefit and their employees actually using it, surfacing care during open enrollment, leave, and major life changes. "Benefits only work when people can find and use them," said Adam Chekroud, co-founder and President of Spring Health. "By bringing Spring Health into Alight Worklife, we can meet employees in the benefits experience they already trust and make it easier to take the next step toward care. That matters because access to effective support can change outcomes: research published in JAMA Network Open found Spring Health members recover 5.9 weeks faster than the leading competitor." "Employers are under increasing pressure to deliver benefits experiences that are both cost-effective and genuinely supportive of their people," said Jessica Borchik, SVP, Partner Strategy and Sales at Alight. "Spring Health joining the Alight Partner Network reflects our joint focus on simplifying complexity and helping organizations make smarter decisions for mental health support so employees can access the care and support they need with confidence."
