MENTAL HEALTH

Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. It includes having a positive mental and emotional attitude. Mental illnesses are real medical conditions and can be successfully treated.

We all worry and experience times when we struggle with our feelings. Many people wonder sometimes if they have mental problems and some are afraid to get help. They may feel sad or elated, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, fearful, disoriented, or forgetful. If feelings or symptoms are affecting your life, consider getting help just as you would for any medical condition.

Guardian Health in partnership with Spring Health has a variety of resources to assist with personalized care plans and tools, free of cost to our employees. This includes, in app wellness exercises, therapy, coaching and more.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Substance use disorder involves excessive and compulsive use of alcohol or drugs. It causes health problems and/or disability. It limits your ability to meet responsibilities at work, school or home. Substance use disorder is a disease, not a failure of will or weakness of character. It is also treatable and you can recover with proper care.

Call the Substance Use Treatment Helpline at 1-855-780-5955 to speak with a licensed clinician as part of your health insurance coverage with United Healthcare. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution, and an individualized treatment strategy by a licensed clinician can be the first step - usually within 24 hours. Licensed clinicians can also guide you to a treatment provider or treatment center in your covered network. Your benefit information is available on Liveandworkwell.com, under the "Claims and Coverage" section.
