Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. Being aware of your mental health is an important aspect of your overall health and well-being. In fact, being aware of your mental health can help your physical health and your ability to thrive in daily life and cope with stress.

Stress can cause headaches, sleep issues, high blood pressure, and an overall weakened immune system. Depression increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Now, it is easier than ever to take an important step for your mental health. Virtual mental health services are available and may be covered by your plan.

Virtual visits allow you the convenience of care where and when you want it. They can also make you feel more at ease sharing your personal thoughts from the comfort of your own safe space.
