In today’s fast-paced world, the importance of mental health is more critical than ever. Taking care of our mental health is important at every stage of life. While physical health often takes center stage, the state of our mental well-being profoundly impacts every aspect of our lives – our relationships, work, and overall happiness. Fostering mental well-being is not only crucial for individuals but for society, as it leads to increased productivity, stronger relationships, and a more compassionate environment. Nearly one in 4 U.S. adults (58.7 million people) live with a mental health condition. By promoting open conversations and reducing stigma, we can create a society that supports mental well-being and empowers individuals to take charge of their mental health journey.

Here at StayWell, it is imperative to us that we have our health members covered for both mind and body. Through our extensive provider networks, we offer a diverse array of mental health providers that can help meet your needs. However, if you are experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency, please contact 911 for immediate help.
