SSQ Insurance continues with its digital health strategy

SSQ Insurance has partnered with HALEO and MindBeacon Group in an effort to give its group insurance plan members access to digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). These partnerships stem from the insurer’s desire to find innovative ways to satisfy the needs of its customers, namely through the deployment of a digital health strategy. Through this modern, online approach, SSQ Insurance is hoping to help its customers with mental health management, specifically through the prevention and early detection of sleep and stress-related problems as well as mood and anxiety disorders.

“Through our agreements with HALEO and MindBeacon, SSQ Insurance plan members will have access to the latest CBT advances and obtain therapy that is adapted to their specific situation, whether for sleep disorders, anxiety, or depression. By taking preventive action in a timely manner, we can ultimately help control group insurance plan costs,” – Éric Trudel, Senior Vice-President of Strategy and Product Management, SSQ Insurance.

HALEO and BEACON each offer innovative cognitive-behavioral therapies delivered online by qualified healthcare professionals. HALEO’s CBT focuses on sleep disorders whereas BEACON’s focuses on mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety and depression. In both cases, the insured determines the pace and platform on which the therapy is applied, making CBT a simple and accessible option.

Through these partnerships, SSQ Insurance proposes a variety of content on stress- and sleep-habit management in order to raise awareness about these problems and learn to recognize them. For those who feel concerned, they can also take a test to evaluate whether or not the HALEO or BEACON approach is right for them.
