More mental strength as one

We can do more to support consumers’ mental wellbeing

Mental health disability claims cost insurers approximately $15 billion each year worldwide. So, with such an enormous opportunity to better support consumers, we’ve partnered with leading mental health platform, Wysa, to create an insurance-specific wellbeing app. Let us show you around.

Calling out for answers

For too long, society has viewed mental health with stigma. But this is changing fast. Our latest research finds many people openly discuss their mental health and are taking steps to manage their own wellbeing. However, there’s a gap between the support and protection that many people need, and the solutions that our industry offers them.

OUR AMBITION Together, we strive to improve your customers’ mental health

With global mental health disability claims at $15 billion per year, something has to be done to improve customer wellbeing. Insurers themselves have a role to play. We can provide new solutions, and in partnership with Wysa, help reduce the effects of a negative mental health episode. Progressive underwriting methods, supported by up-to date research, can help improve outcomes, while sharing best practices globally could create advanced prevention and intervention.​
