In a strategic move to address the growing demand for mental health services, Navitus Health Solutions has announced a partnership with Learn to Live, a leader in digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and clinician coaching. This collaboration will provide Navitus clients with expanded access to Learn to Live’s evidence-based, on-demand mental health programs, offering a cost-effective solution for individuals seeking support without the need for prescriptions or in-person visits.
Mental health challenges are increasingly prevalent, with nearly 50% of Americans expected to require mental health care at some point in their lives. However, only 25% of individuals seek traditional treatment, often due to barriers such as cost, accessibility, and stigma. Unaddressed mental health issues not only impact physical health but also contribute to decreased productivity and higher long-term medical costs.
Learn to Live’s digital platform aims to bridge this gap by offering flexible, 24/7 access to CBT-based mental health programs and clinician coaching. This service is designed to reach individuals who may not have access to conventional care, providing effective solutions to conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, substance use, and more. By addressing these issues early, the platform helps reduce healthcare costs and mitigate problems like employee absenteeism and turnover for employers.
“Employers are more concerned than ever about the mental well-being of their workforce,” said Laura Jester, Vice President of Clinical Services at Navitus. “With this partnership, we are responding to the increasing demand for mental health support by providing our clients with transformative solutions that are not only cost-effective but also remove the traditional barriers to care.”
Learn to Live has a proven track record spanning 12 years, having delivered clinical improvements in mental health outcomes for millions of individuals. Its programs teach users to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, leading to long-lasting improvements in mental health.
Through this collaboration, Navitus and Learn to Live aim to reach more than 35 million individuals, offering a scalable solution to address the rising mental health needs of diverse populations, including employees, health plan members, and other stakeholders.
Dale Cook, co-founder and CEO of Learn to Live, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “As demand for accessible and effective mental health resources continues to grow, we are proud to work with Navitus to deliver confidential, evidence-based services that result in meaningful clinical outcomes and a strong return on investment for employers and health plans alike.”
