Available through the Alight Worklife® platform, these services
help employers further address the behavioral health crisis through
skilled, high-touch support while reinforcing the importance of
total wellbeing
Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital
and technology services provider, today announced the launch of
enhanced services to help employees and families navigate complex
behavioral health concerns. Available to organizations utilizing
Alight Clinical Guidance and Alight Total Guidance, the new
features are designed to overcome many of the barriers faced by
individuals when trying to seek treatment.
These new features include a designated, multidisciplinary team
of psychiatrists, psychiatric APRNs and NPs, licensed social
workers and mental health counselors (Alight Behavioral Health
Allies) that can act as allies in helping an individual find the
site of care that meets their specific need.
Through an integrated and personalized user experience, the
Alight Worklife platform also promotes available mental health
resources and encourages individuals to utilize the available
support. Spouses can also access these resources through Alight
Worklife.
"At Alight, we understand that a healthy mind is fundamental to
an individual's overall wellbeing," said Alison Borland, Chief
Wellbeing Officer at Alight. "Complex and severe behavioral health
needs are prevalent and underserved, creating a ripple effect that
can lead to worsened outcomes in other areas of the individual’s
life. By adding these enhanced services, Alight aims to provide
individuals and their families with the critical support they need
to prioritize their mental health journey in their greatest time of
need through a seamless and accessible experience powered by our
Alight Worklife platform.”
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 1
in 20 adults experience serious mental illness each year, such as
bipolar disorder, substance use disorder (SUD), or major
depression. Around 40% will go untreated, perpetuating the problem
and leading to poor outcomes for individuals and lost productivity
and absenteeism for organizations. Similarly, children and
adolescents are in the throes of their own crisis, with 80% not
receiving the specialized mental health care they need, per the
CDC, adding to the load of already overburdened caregivers.
“The barriers faced by employees and their families when trying
to understand and seek specialized behavioral healthcare support
are phenomenally challenging,” said Bipin Mistry, Chief Medical
Officer at Alight. “When a participant has a dual diagnosis or has
failed treatments, is acutely ill and missing work, or facing
disability— we can take them by the hand and help them over the
course of that journey, whether it includes working with the
individual to facilitate a leave of absence, find specialized
treatment or obtain workplace accommodations. They will not be
alone.”
By engaging employees in the moments that matter, and aligning
them with relevant programs, Alight enables employees to take full
advantage of the range of resources available to them, fostering a
holistic approach to mental wellness and total wellbeing.
