Supporting Your Mental Wellbeing with UniMed

In Aotearoa, mental health challenges affect many of us. According to the Mental Health Foundation NZ, around one in five New Zealanders experience a mental illness in any given year, and nearly half will experience one at some point during their lifetime. These statistics remind us why building resilience and having access to support is so important.

With Mental Health Awareness Week reminding us how important it is to look after ourselves , we want to make sure our members know about the Mental Wellbeing Support included in their UniMed Health Plans. 

UniMed Mental Wellbeing Offer

At UniMed, they recognise that looking after your mental wellbeing is just as important as our physical health. That’s why Primary Care Plan, Primary Care Extra, #care4U or Hospital Select policyholders currently have access to three fully funded sessions with a registered psychologist, counsellor or psychotherapist each policy year.

Whether you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or simply need to talk something through, professional support can make a real difference. Learn more or start using this benefit by visiting UniMed Mental Wellbeing Support.
