It’s fair to say that the last couple of years have been very challenging for most and continue to be tough for many.  These challenges can impact our mental wellbeing and the way we’re feeling can change how we think and how we deal with tough times too.

This is important as good mental wellbeing is vital for living a healthy life. However, we know that mental distress is common, in fact, figures show that here in New Zealand, about four in five New Zealand adults having experienced some form of mental distress in the last year or so. 

That’s why we are committed to improving the mental wellbeing support we give to our Members and so, we are happy to be doing something practical about it this year by partnering with Clearhead. 

From Wednesday 25th January all our Members who have one of our three Primary Care Plans or the Hospital Select Plan can access for free everything that Clearhead offers through their platform and take a proactive approach to supporting their mental health through evidence-based self help digital tools, resources and timely access to therapists ensuring they can easily access the help they need - when they need it.

So what can Clearhead offer?

Clearhead allows our Members to understand why they may be feeling anxious, stressed, tired or down. And it supports them to be proactive and resilient with their mental health.
