🌿 Mental Health Equity: A Closer Look at MHPAEA 🌿 The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) of 2008 is a pivotal law ensuring mental health and substance use disorder benefits are on par with medical/surgical benefits in group health plans. It champions equal treatment for mental health, with fair financial and treatment limits, and mandates transparency about benefit decisions. For companies with over 50 employees, and now smaller groups thanks to ACA reforms, MHPAEA is a significant step towards destigmatizing mental health care and ensuring accessible treatment for all. At Lyceum Insurance Services, we understand the importance of mental health parity and are here to help our clients navigate these essential protections. Ensuring your plans comply with MHPAEA is just one way we support your overall wellbeing.

Now, let's talk mental health and wellness. There is no denying that this has become a problem in our Society. We should stop burying our heads in the sand. What can be done? When in Council I will ensure that the National office alongside ABA come up with programmes that involves liaising with Branches to identify health professionals within our regions to partner with LSK and make access to mental health possible at subsidised rates. We will look at the feasibility of an advocates insurance scheme that must incorporate mental health. We must normalise speaking out about mental health by continuing with free mental health webinars every month and a segment on mental health at every two-day physical CPD programme. I will ensure that the National Office liaises with Branches to establish a mental health desk at Branches and during physical CPDs - much akin like how we have LSK Sacco desks. Let's take care of our mental health. #It'sTimeForValour #Aseso4UpCountryRepresentative

The Last Mile: A Dream Realized 😍 Four years ago, we had a simple yet powerful dream: to make mental health care accessible, affordable, and a normal part of everyday life. At the time, the path ahead felt long and full of challenges. Today, seeing Aepsy and Atupri side by side on billboards, we can’t help but feel a sense of pride and motivation to keep going. 💪 This partnership with Atupri is more than just an achievement. It’s a milestone - the last mile towards our mission to revolutionize mental health care in Switzerland. An insurance company actively promoting prevention and early intervention is exactly what we’ve been advocating for. This is not just progress; it’s the future we imagined. 🎯 What makes this moment special? 🌟 Access made easy: Direct support with no hurdles or waiting. 🌟 Affordable and proactive: Up to 75% of every session covered without the need to see a doctor first. 🌟 Prevention is key: Mental health as a proactive part of life. Why is this "The Last Mile"? This is where dreams meet reality. The last mile isn’t just about reaching the finish line - it’s about making the vision real for everyone who believed in us. Atupri’s commitment to prioritizing prevention shows we’re not walking alone. Together, we’re reshaping mental health care. 🧠 This is just the beginning of what we can achieve! 💡 Here’s to making mental health care accessible to all 🫶 #aepsy #atupri #thelastmile #mentalhealth #prevention #early #support #therapy #coaching

Access to affordable mental health care is almost non-existent. Even in Middle America, master's level therapists are charging $200 per hour for 50 minute visits and few professionals take insurance, making individual psychotherapy available to only a few. #crisis #mentalhealth #therapy #healthequity
