Fertility and family-building journeys can feel isolating and impact people's mental health. For the one in six people of reproductive age who experience infertility worldwide, there is clear evidence that the mental health toll can be just as significant as the physical. The National Institutes of Health recently found that an estimated 25-60% of individuals experiencing infertility report psychiatric symptoms and that their levels of anxiety and depression are significantly higher than the general population. Many of these individuals are turning to their employers for support with better emotional or mental health resources being one of the most sought after solutions. Hear from Rosie Acosta, Meditation and Mindfulness teacher, Headspace, for a live, guided meditation, followed by a discussion moderated by Courtney Vinopal, Senior Reporter at Morning Brew, between Asima Ahmad, MD, MPH, FACOG, our Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder; Mary Lasky, MBA, Director of Benefits, Accolade, Inc.; and Jenna Glover, Chief Clinical Officer at Headspace.

Our member, Vernize M. Rios, CFM, Senior Office & Facilities Manager at Chegg Inc., recently spoke to Business Insider about how Carrot helped her achieve her dream of freezing her eggs. According to Vernize, she is still at Chegg today and “has no plans to leave,” saying the fertility benefits contributed to her overall happiness as an employee. Comprehensive fertility and family-building benefits are powerful tools for hiring and retaining top talent — 9 out of 10 members are likely to stay with their employer because they offer Carrot. We’re proud to partner with companies like Chegg to support their employees' fertility and family-building goals.

Listen to our Chief Medical Officer, Asima Ahmad, MD, MPH, FACOG, as she discusses the different ways Carrot partners with employers to meet their employees’ fertility and family-building needs. #hlth #employeebenefits #hr
Why does Carrot Fertility work with employers? In the US, nearly 160 million Americans access health coverage through their jobs. Most people receive mental and physical health benefits through their employers, and even dental and vision, but fertility often isn’t covered despite it being a major healthcare need. Expanding access to fertility care is crucial, and involving employers is a key strategy to achieve this goal. By partnering with employers, Carrot ensures that companies can meet their fertility and family-building benefit goals, providing comprehensive support to their employees. This approach not only addresses a critical healthcare need but also helps employers attract and retain talent by offering inclusive and valuable benefits. I spoke with Peter Birch at HLTH Europe about the different ways we work with employers to meet their employees’ fertility and family-building needs effectively. #fertility #infertility #fertilitybenefits #fertilitycareforall #employeebenefits #benefits
