Abstract

Starbucks Coffee Company announced March 16 a reimagined mental health care benefit for its U.S. partners (employees) that is more accessible, robust and tailored to partners' specific needs than ever before, Business Wire reported. Beginning April 6, Starbucks will provide all U.S. partners and eligible family members access to 20 sessions a year with a mental health therapist or coach through the innovative mental health benefits provider Lyra Health, all at no cost to the user. Lyra Health will connect more Starbucks partners to high‐quality care. Starbucks' partners will be able to securely and confidentially seek evidence‐based mental health treatment, identify available health providers that meet their individual needs and book appointments on the spot, with options to meet with their therapist or coach by video or in person, officials stated. The reimagined mental health care benefit was created based on partner feed‐back and is the latest update in the company's comprehensive mental health initiative announced last September, with an aim to promote mental wellness and offer innovative new mental health care benefits that support Starbucks' goal to break the stigma.
