Care.com, the digital care services leader and provider of the
most comprehensive suite of family care benefits in the industry,
today announced that it has expanded its enterprise services
through new partnerships with CollegeVine and Talkspace (NASDAQ:
TALK).
Effective this month, CollegeVine, the leader in virtual
guidance for high schoolers, will be available to clients who have
existing LifeCare services offered by Care.com. Talkspace, the
leader in digital virtual behavioral healthcare, will become
available as a stand-alone mental health offering to all of
Care.com’s enterprise clients effective July 2021.
Care.com’s industry-leading suite of enterprise services
currently includes access to the company’s digital platform, backup
care for children and adults, senior care, personalized care
support, and additional services ranging from breastfeeding support
to financial planning, all designed to provide the full spectrum of
care for working families. The addition of CollegeVine and
Talkspace reflects the growing need for college advising and access
to mental health support, respectively.
CollegeVine provides access to personalized guidance for high
school students with services that include essay reviews, college
admission planning, help navigating financial aid and scholarship
programs, among others. Talkspace gives members aged 13+ immediate
access to counseling and therapy for mental health support with
licensed therapists.
In making the announcement, Natalie Mayslich, GM of Consumer and
Enterprise for Care.com, said “Best-in-class employers know that
today, care benefits are must-haves for their teams, and equally
important, they understand that has expanded beyond care for small
children and aging adults. Through this pandemic year, mental
health support has rapidly become a workplace priority and, as any
parent of a teenager can tell you, the academic and competitive
pressures of college prep are intense. We couldn’t be more thrilled
to partner with market leaders like CollegeVine and Talkspace in
support of the 15 million+ employees we reach with our enterprise
services.”
“Parents have always played a vital role in the college
admissions process, but to go it alone these days can be very
daunting,” said Zack Perkins, CollegeVine CEO. “By partnering with
Care.com, we will bring much needed guidance and support to
families during this critical life milestone. Our comprehensive
platform takes you and your student from start to finish with
expert guidance and is completely free for families—it's a
must-have for any working parent.”
“Talkspace is excited to partner with Care.com because of our
shared approach to delivering healthcare. By prioritizing access
and affordability, we’re able to get individuals the personalized
care they need, when and where they need it,” said Lauren
Friedrich, Talkspace’s Vice President of Channel Partnerships.
“This focus on access and affordability facilitates ongoing care
with a trusted provider and ultimately leads to better clinical
outcomes.”
Through the CollegeVine partnership, Care.com’s enterprise
clients will have unlimited access to CollegeVine’s platform and
personalized tools including college admission plan development,
target schools list creation, and live streamed events with
experts, alumni and students on a variety of subjects ranging from
essay topics to choosing a school. In addition, in an exclusive
benefit for Care.com’s enterprise clients, employees will receive
100 free “Instant Karma” (CollegeVine currency) which can be
redeemed for priority answers from admissions experts, peer essay
reviews and entries for weekly scholarship drawings.
Through the Talkspace partnership, Care.com’s enterprise clients
will be able to purchase Talkspace to provide top-tier mental
health services for their employees. When adding Talkspace to their
care benefit portfolio, clients will be providing employees with
personalized individual therapist matching, unlimited text and
audio messaging, library resources, and progress goals tools,
available to all employees, all fully subsidized. In addition,
clients can expand service offerings to include monthly live video
sessions with therapists, live video sessions with psychiatrists,
and access to marital counseling resources.
