Mental Health Support (Modern Health)

The takeaway

Okta cares about your health and happiness. But sometimes, everyone needs a little help with balancing work, family, and everything in between. That’s why we partner with Modern Health to provide an incredible benefit for your holistic well-being.

Modern Health, Okta’s employee assistance program (EAP) provider, balances on-demand digital tools with virtual coaching (and therapy, if needed). You set up the approach that best meets your needs. Your family members are covered, too, all at no cost to you.

How Modern Health can help you and your family

Modern Health provides support for many areas:

  • Work performance—find coaching and support to improve productivity, leadership skills, work relationships, and professional development.
  • Financial well-being—for example, when your student loan debt seems to take over, or you need help with saving for an emergency and planning for future financial needs.
  • Help with life challenges—like, preparing for having a family, adjusting once you’re a parent, getting help with child care and elder care, and dealing with loss.
  • Diversity and inclusion—to better to understand and overcome bias or find balance between your personal and work identity.
  • Stress and anxiety—for when even small things seem really big and scary.
  • Healthy lifestyles—to help you move more, eat healthier, and sleep better.
  • Mindfulness and meditation—with techniques for managing stress, focusing, and meditating.
  • Relationships—with your partner, friends, family, and dating.

You can share Modern Health with qualified dependents. Generally, this is consistent with how your health plan defines dependents. Some examples include:

  • A legal spouse or registered domestic partner
  • A child between the ages of 6 and 26
  • A relative that resides in the same household

You will receive up to 8 therapy + 8 coaching sessions per person per calendar year.

Getting started with Modern Health

Modern Health dependent access is initiated by the employee through the app settings. They provide some basic information such as name, birthdate, and email address, and then Modern Health sends a message to them to register. In most countries it's only available to those 6+ for therapy, and 18+ for all content.

Sign up! We recommend using the Modern Health app to get started, or you can register at Modern Health.

You can also access Modern Health via SSO on your mobile device. Follow these five steps:

  1. Open Okta Verify.
  2. Click on: Launch Dashboard.
  3. Select: Sign in with Okta FastPass.
  4. Search for Modern Health in Dashboard and launch it.
  5. If you THEN download and open the Modern Health app, you should be automatically authenticated.

Take a confidential well-being assessment and go from there

You’ll complete a well-being survey, and from there Modern Health will deliver your personalized wellness plan, match you with the appropriate personal coach, and provide you with personalized links to the Modern Health digital library.

For example, if student loans are stressing you out, you may be linked with a professional coach who can help you set up a plan for budgeting, saving, and paying down your debt.

Connecting on your terms

Modern Health provides you with up to eight phone or video sessions with your coach. You also have unlimited access to your coach through text or email.

If your coach or your well-being survey indicates you have a clinical need—for example, you may suffer from depression—Modern Health will recommend a therapist to work with in addition to your dedicated coach.

As you get to the end of your covered sessions, you and your coach or therapist can work with Modern Health to determine the next steps for continuing your relationship.

Modern Health digital resources

Along with your coach, you’ll link to courses and hacks that take no longer than 15 minutes to complete.

You’ll also get hacks for your own needs—for example, to prevent work burnout and handle relationships with your coworkers.

Also, check out the Modern Health community to join free webinars to help cope with stress, practice mindfulness, and get coaching advice for a range of topics. You can also view videos on demand, if you can’t make it to a live webinar.

  • Community Support Sessions
  • Mindfulness Practices

 

In addition to your Modern Health resources, Okta pays for your premium subscription to Headspace, a meditation app with both mobile and desktop versions.
