Headspace Care (Ginger)
Ginger, now known as Headspace Care, is a platform that provides confidential mental health support through live, text-based coaching, video-based therapy and psychiatry, and a library of skill-building resources. Users can access these services from their smartphones, ensuring privacy and convenience. The coaching model allows users to chat with coaches in real-time, either immediately or through regularly scheduled sessions. Coaches are trained professionals with advanced degrees and/or coaching certifications, and they can connect users to therapists or psychiatrists if needed. Video-based sessions with licensed therapists and psychiatrists are available for more intensive support. The platform also offers an in-app library of resources such as activities, podcasts, videos, and articles to help users with various mental health topics. Headspace Care is available in English, Spanish, and French, though the services offered may vary by language and region. Conversations between users and their care team are confidential and secure, with compliance to HIPAA, EU GDPR, and HITRUST CSF standards. The cost of accessing coaching, therapy, and psychiatry services through Headspace Care may depend on the user's employer or health plan. Users can get started by downloading the app and following the instructions based on their access eligibility.
