Empathia will now offer peer-to-peer online mental health support for their EAP, Crisis Management and Student Support Programs
WAUKESHA, Wis., Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Empathia, Inc. has partnered with Togetherall to increase the mental health offerings available for its members. Togetherall is a leading virtual platform providing safe, clinician-monitored communities for peers to share mental health struggles while receiving and offering support. Championing security, anonymity, and clinical oversight, Togetherall's technology is a valuable addition for many organizations.
"Empathia is constantly looking for new ways to engage those we serve, and to offer innovative ways to provide support," said Empathia's Chief Growth Officer, Brian Summers. "We are excited about our relationship with Togetherall, as they expand our services and align with our culture of, and commitment to, clinical wellbeing. Through Togetherall, we're able to provide a safe online community that's accessible 24/7."
Togetherall's peer-to-peer model supports over 20 million people worldwide across a variety of employer, health, union, association and student markets. With Togetherall's capabilities, organizations can engage populations that have been traditionally underserved, create safe discussion spaces within industries where mental health may be stigmatized, and provide access to 24/7 support moderated by licensed clinicians. From small communities to large — such as student, healthcare, BIPOC and nationwide populations — individuals can connect to others with similar situations and struggles to find comfort and support. Togetherall also offers additional resources, courses, goal-setting tools and self-assessments that help individuals monitor and develop proactive mental health skills. With Empathia's dedicated 24/7 clinical call center and digital services, members can seamlessly connect to other support resources when needed.
"Togetherall is passionate about the role that peer-to-peer support plays in mental health, ensuring that individuals and whole populations can connect safely with the resource that's right for them," said Togetherall President Matthew McEvoy. "Every day we see the power of people helping each other by sharing their thoughts, feelings, stories and encouragement. We are looking forward to extending our 24/7 service to Empathia and their broad portfolio of clients, integrating into their core offerings to provide appropriate pathways and a seamless member experience."
Ben Locke, Ph.D., Chief Clinical Officer at Togetherall added, "Traditional treatments will always play a critical role in supporting people struggling with mental health concerns, but we must also realize that these services are simply not designed to scale and therefore cannot meet the demand alone. And, those who are most in need and at risk often suffer alone, afraid or unable to navigate traditional treatment systems. Togetherall's model of peer support is accessible 24/7 and is always moderated by licensed clinicians, both to ensure a safe, supportive space and to provide members with more intensive support or safeguarding when needed. The clinical and technological integration with Empathia's 24/7 clinical call center is an important part of our partnership as we put the member first, whatever their level of need."
Empathia's clients may now add Togetherall as a valuable resource to their existing plan. Together, Empathia and Togetherall are committed to expanding the reach of mental health services and ensuring individuals have access to reliable, convenient support.
