"When someone reaches out for support, what comes next defines everything."
- Stephen Costello - Spectrum.Life
Spectrum.Life has formed a new partnership with cash plan provider BHSF, with the aim of providing the latter with updated mental health support services for employees and expanding on EAP services previously offered via Perkbox.
The partnership will provide employees with round-the-clock access to support services via telephone helpline or live chat, including WhatsApp and SMS. Employees will also have access to structured clinical counselling sessions, and specialist pathways will be available for employees with more complex mental health difficulties.
Furthermore, the support services will include a new app designed to promote proactive wellbeing with on-demand exercise, meditation, and health education, available through a single health platform.
Employees will be able to move from early preventative support to high-intensity complex clinical intervention when required, with clinical oversight at each stage. The range of additional services is available at no extra cost to employees.

"Our partnership with Spectrum.Life strengthens the support available to clients and their employees by combining digital accessibility with clinically led care pathways," Stuart Hayhurst, CEO of BHSF group, said.
"As pressures on both individuals and the wider healthcare system continue to grow, employers are increasingly looking for practical wellbeing support that employees can access quickly and confidently. This partnership represents another important step in the continued evolution of our wellbeing proposition."
Spectrum.Life CEO Stephen Costello added: "When someone reaches out for support, what comes next defines everything. Whether that’s preventative services, a GP, a counsellor or a specialist: whatever they need is there for them now, through one connected front door."
