Listening In (With Permission): Conversations About Today's Pressing Health Care Topics

Suzanne Delbanco speaks with Jason Richmond, Head of Consultant Relations at Ginger, a digital mental health care provider. Jason Richmond explores the supply demand imbalance between mental health patients and providers in the United States right now, and why the traditional provider network model to access care doesn’t carry over well into the mental health space. Jason describes the evolution that mental health care has gone through in recent years, transforming from a one-size-fits-all care program into a de-stigmatized spectrum of treatment plans, including behavioral health coaches. Finally, Jason offers advice for business leaders on how to de-stigmatize mental health care and use employee feedback to design a health benefits structure tailored to your covered population's needs.
