"Lumino Health Virtual Care EAP is an all-in-one solution to help Canadians get immediate access to support. We want to provide our members with the help they need, when they need it. Today's announcement means help is just a few clicks away," said Marie-Chantal Côté, Senior Vice-President, Group Benefits, Sun Life Canada.

"EAP services are important to help people navigate life's difficult moments," said Cherif Habib, Chief Executive Officer, Dialogue. "When people are in need, they're looking to get support as quickly as possible. This virtual tool allows members to get a personalized assessment within minutes and an appointment with a mental health professional within 24 hours."

As part of their EAP service, members have access to online cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT). The program offers a series of interactive, self-care toolkits. They are clinically proven to support mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression.

A new Stress Management and Well-Being program is also now available through Lumino Health Virtual Care. This add-on service leverages the dedicated care team and resources from Dialogue. The program offers additional mental health services to members, including access to psychologists, psychotherapists, and mental health specialists. Through the app, members complete a brief online stress test. They are then connected with a mental health specialist for an initial assessment and receive a personalized care plan. Based on their needs, members are matched to an appropriate practitioner, with access to unlimited sessions until remission.

Lumino Health Virtual Care's suite of services provides an integrated approach to healthcare. Members can use one platform to meet many of their health and wellness needs. To learn more about Lumino Health Virtual Care EAP, please visit our Group Benefits website.
