Leading behavioral care provider also introduces nationwide availability of new mental health coaching services and expands therapy offering to 10 states
MINNETONKA, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sanvello Health, Inc., a leading digital mental health care provider and a UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) company, today announced a new partnership with gold medal gymnast and wellness advocate, Aly Raisman. The news strategic partnership also comes as Sanvello launches its new mental health coaching services and an expanded therapy offering, both available within the app.
An active user of Sanvello, Raisman will help reach millions of people worldwide who can benefit from taking action to improve their mental health. She’ll also work closely with the Sanvello team to build out new services and offerings for global app users, informed by her own personal experience.
“Working with a professional therapist and building in self-care practices to my everyday routine have really helped me through some very tough times,” says Raisman. “I want to help others create space to focus on their own mental health, and Sanvello is a great place to start. There’s no one-size-fits-all for mental health, but with so many types of support within Sanvello, you can choose the path that feels right to you. Together, we want to encourage help-seeking behavior and improve the mental health care experience so more people around the world can take small steps to feel better.”
The partnership, and launch of in-app coaching and therapy services comes at a critical time: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has more people than ever in need of quality mental health care. More than one-third of American adults are experiencing symptoms of an anxiety disorder, and one-quarter are experiencing symptoms of a depressive disorder, according to CDC survey data — up more than 250% from a year ago.
“We’re seeing thousands of people come to Sanvello every day seeking help for stress, anxiety and depression. People are overwhelmed, and they’re choosing Sanvello as their first stop to find better mental health,” says Brian Sauer, chief executive officer of Sanvello. “With a new academic year upon us adding new stressors, we’re expecting the need to only increase. Over three-quarters of our users with stress, anxiety and depression report feeling better within just 60 days. We are eager to partner with Aly to continue to bring the best digital mental health support we can to people around the world.”
The additional services rounds out the company’s care service offering, making Sanvello Health the nation’s first and only digital behavioral health care provider with a completely seamless and integrated patient experience, combining the power of content and care to serve a broad population across multiple diagnoses such as anxiety, depression and trauma-related conditions.
