MADISON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Navitus Health Solutions has announced a strategic partnership with Learn to Live, expanding its portfolio of mental health services for clients. This collaboration introduces Learn to Live’s industry-leading digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) platform, aimed at providing affordable and accessible mental health support without the need for prescription medications or in-person visits.
The new partnership will offer Navitus clients a clinically proven solution to address the growing prevalence of mental health issues and their associated costs. The on-demand digital programs, along with clinician coaching, are designed to help individuals manage mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, and substance use, all of which can contribute to higher healthcare costs, reduced productivity, and increased employee turnover.
Addressing the Mental Health Gap
According to recent statistics, nearly half of all Americans will experience mental health challenges at some point in their lives, yet only 25% will seek traditional treatment. Unaddressed mental health conditions can have a significant impact on physical health and productivity, leading to long-term medical expenses.
Through its digital CBT programs and clinician coaching, Learn to Live removes common barriers to care, such as access, cost, and stigma. The platform provides 24/7 support for individuals who may not have access to or be aware of traditional care options. This innovative model is especially valuable for employers and health plans, helping to reduce healthcare expenses and improve overall employee well-being.
A Transformative Solution
“Today’s employers are increasingly concerned about the mental health of their workforce,” said Laura Jester, Vice President of Clinical Services at Navitus. “Our clients rely on Navitus for transformative solutions, and this partnership with Learn to Live allows us to meet that demand while reducing costs. Most importantly, we continue to eliminate the primary barriers to mental health support—access, cost, and stigma.”
Learn to Live has a strong track record, with over 12 years of clinical success in improving mental health outcomes. By using evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, the platform teaches users how to identify and change negative thinking and behavior patterns, providing long-lasting mental health benefits.
Through partnerships with pharmacy benefit management organizations like Navitus, health plans, and employers, Learn to Live has already reached over 35 million people.
Expanding Access to Mental Health Resources
Dale Cook, co-founder and CEO of Learn to Live, expressed the company’s commitment to expanding access to mental health resources: “The demand for accessible and effective mental health services continues to rise. Our clients count on us to provide confidential, evidence-based services that deliver measurable clinical outcomes and a meaningful return on investment. We are thrilled to partner with Navitus to help even more people access the support they need.”
