Kaiser Permanente and mental healthcare provider Ginger are partnering to offer emotional telehealth support services to members.
Members will be able to access no cost and appointment-free text messaging-based support coaches, personalized tools and resources, and a platform to track progress and goals, according to an Oct. 4 news release.
"Kaiser Permanente selected Ginger to help provide nonclinical emotional support coaching and expand the continuum of digital mental health tools we make available at no cost to all eligible adult members," Don Mordecai, MD, psychiatrist and national leader for mental health and wellness, said. "The Ginger offering sits between our self-care offerings and our clinical care, providing personalized text-based support from trained Ginger coaches to our members in the moment when they need it the most, anytime day or night."
