From anxiety to the opioid epidemic, mental health conditions represent some of the most common and costly health issues in the United States. Yet employers often feel like they have few tools to address this monumental problem. With 20% of US adults living with a mental health condition—which, on average increases annual individual healthcare costs significantly—employers can no longer ignore the silent challenges millions of employees battle every day.

In this webinar, Sprint, a telecommunications company based in Kansas with 30,000 employees nationwide, will share their journey to becoming a leader in mental health. In addition, Big Health, a pioneer in digital medicine solutions for mental health, will share research on the barriers to effective mental health care for employees and how to overcome them. Finally, Castlight will dive into the preliminary findings of its Mental Health and Substance Use report that examined millions of claims data from Castlight customers to assess trends in mental health diagnosis rates across the country.
