Making Mental Health a Priority: Shattering the Stigma
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in five U.S. adults experiences mental illness. Unfortunately, the stigma associated with a mental health condition is one of the main reasons why people don’t seek the help they need. Travelers provides a robust collection of benefits for employees that support all aspects of their lives, including their mental well-being.
Our employees and the family members in their household have access to Spring Health, which provides personalized, convenient mental health care and resources, including eight free therapy sessions and eight free coaching sessions per year at no cost.
Caregiving Support from Wellthy helps employees navigate the challenges they face when caring for themselves, an aging family member, a child or a loved one with special needs or who is chronically ill. Employees are matched with a dedicated care coordinator who can guide them through the logistical and administrative tasks of caregiving, from providing information on financial support to assisting with needs specific to military veterans and their families. They can provide everything from quick help for an urgent situation to long-term support for ongoing care needs.
Throughout the year, Travelers features guest speakers and offers activities and resources to support our employees and their loved ones. During Mental Health Awareness Month, we put a special focus on shattering the stigma associated with mental illness and encourage employees to be champions who support others by wearing green. In 2024, the Travelers Tower in Hartford, Connecticut, was also lit in green.
Additionally, the Travelers Institute, the public policy division of Travelers, has highlighted mental health issues externally through its webinar series Wednesdays with Woodward® and its Forces at WorkSM initiative.
