Healix to deliver mental health support to global business travellers

Healthcare and risk management solutions company Healix has announced the introduction of mental health services to support its clients’ employees when they travel for business.

As part of Healix’s emergency services offering, clients will now be offered around the clock telephone access to confidential mental health support for their people. This service will help organisations proactively support the wellbeing of their teams and provide mental health support in times of crisis, whether their people are on a business trip or a long-term overseas assignment.

The service will provide support for common work, health and life difficulties through counselling, risk assessment and self-directed online programmes. The care will be delivered via experienced counsellors from TELUS Health – a provider of health technology services – delivering both digital innovation and clinical services to improve total physical, mental, and financial health and wellness.

Charlie Butcher, CEO at Healix International, said: “Our mantra is to help our clients safeguard the wellbeing and security of their people and operations, wherever they are in the world; from helping them understand and prepare for risks, to supporting them when the worst happens.

“Extending our services gives our clients the option to fulfil their duty of care to team members working away from home by supporting their mental wellbeing and providing appropriate care in times of crisis.”
