Your mental health matters!

Mental Health is unique to you which makes Headspace Care a great tool for your self-care toolkit. You can access care in a way that works for you—through texts or private video sessions with licensed clinicians and self-care activities.

What’s Headspace Care?

Headspace Care is an app that offers confidential, on-demand emotional and mental health support for your life challenges through coaching via text-based chats, self-care activities and video-based therapy and psychiatry—all from the privacy of your smartphone. 

Coaches are available to chat 24/7, 365 days per year. Private video sessions with a therapist or psychiatrist are available outside of business hours on evenings and weekends.

Note: If you use Headspace Care Therapy and Psychiatry services, your sessions may be covered under the State Health Plan. Applicable deductibles and copays for an office visit will apply.

Who is eligible?

Permanent full-time UNCP employees are eligible for Headspace Care. You do not need to be enrolled in the State Health Plan to use Headspace Care. However, if you are enrolled and need to use Headspace Care Therapy and Psychiatry services, a representative from Headspace Care can help connect you with a provider in the State Health Plan’s network.

Your dependents ages 18 and older can use Headspace Care, too.
