Everyday mental health support for the whole family
We all need to look after our mental health – and we’re here to help. From helping you build healthy habits to early support and fast access to care; you and family covered on your plan can get the right help when you need it.
We help support your mental wellbeing, every day…
It’s no secret that healthy habits like regular exercise and mindfulness are good for mental and physical health1 – especially when it connects you with others. From parkrun and a gym membership to spa breaks and guided meditation, we make it easier to build wellbeing into your everyday routine with access to our healthy living programme.
…and offer 24/7 digital support for life’s tougher moments
For help with stress or sleep, for example, there’s guided meditation support through our partner, Headspace, which you get a 12-month subscription to, on us.
If you need a safe space to talk about your feelings and need support, you also have access to a clinically safe, evidence-based AI mental health coach - available day or night – powered by our partner, Wysa.
These digital tools aren’t a replacement for human care. So, when talking to a mental health expert is your best option, you have easy access to talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

It offers teenagers a safe and judgement-free space when they need it most – helping them explore their feelings and build emotional resilience. Plus, it recognises when they need more support and guides them to the next step.
