Hear from our Co-Founder and CEO about how Caraway enables our members to prioritize mental health #mentalhealthawarenessmonth ⤵
Working directly with Gen Z – whether on the Caraway team, as part of Caraway Crew, or with Caraway members – is always one of the best parts of my job, but this Mental Health Awareness month, I’m thinking about that honor more than ever. Gen Z has already proven their ability to lead us to a brighter, healthier future by understanding the importance of mental health, and reducing the stigma in addressing it. At Caraway, we’re lucky to follow their lead. So this Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m proud to highlight the ways Caraway enables our members to prioritize mental health. Together, we hope to reshape the mental health landscape today and for generations to come: 🧠Mental health isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. By engaging in our mental health early on, we can foster resilience, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and pave the way for fulfilling lives. 📲Our digital-first care platform provides convenient access to licensed professionals, ensuring help is readily available whenever and wherever it's needed. But it's not only about access. By meeting our members where they are, we empower them to take control of their own mental well-being as they build independence. ♻️We respect the mind-body connection. Mental and physical health are inextricably linked. That’s why our collaborative Care Team treats them as one, helping members make connections to learn how their mental health impacts their physical health and vice versa. 💲We call on health payers to invest in proactive and integrated mental health care across adolescence and young adulthood. We must collectively look beyond near-term cost savings frameworks and instead improve reimbursement models to incentivize providers accordingly. Past approaches have resulted in current mental health networks that fall woefully short, creating a widespread access challenge and unmanageable out-of-pocket cost burden for patients in need. We can do so much better for Gen Z and generations to come! #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #womensmentalhealth #genz
