Empower offers its Good Days Ahead program in a number of versions to meet the needs of entities across the healthcare ecosystem.
Insurers and Managed Care
Individual behavior choices drive the bulk of chronic diseases – which represent 75% of health care costs in the United States. Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) approaches can help people feel better and make healthier decisions. Empower’s flagship online application, Good Days Ahead, can help individuals suffering from depression and anxiety both in behavioral health settings as well as traditional mental health environments, vastly improving both the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of providing evidence-based solutions. In a clinical environment, the Good Days Ahead clinical version can optimize the clinician’s time by taking on much of the psycho-education and tracking elements of the process. In behavioral health settings, the wellness version complements traditional wellness approaches by providing an in-depth self-guided approach to managing anxiety and depression symptoms.
Department of Defense and VA
Our nation’s warfighters, veterans and their families face significant strain from the sacrifices they have made to serve their country. Empower’s Good Days Ahead application for anxiety and depression can be used in clinical settings as well as in a self-guided format to provide evidence-based methods to those who may not have easy access to traditional behavioral and mental health facilities. In addition, using the program in traditional settings can enhance the traditional clinical process by providing new learning formats and communication mechanisms for clinicians and individuals. The program can also support continuity of care between institutions by providing a consistent interface in various locations.
Employers
All types of life changes – new job roles, new family members, new locations – can increase the stress on employees and their families. Providing anonymous, evidence-based and engaging online tools to teach coping skills for stress, anxiety and depression can help those suffering from this stress by learning how to manage their reactions and behaviors. Studies have shown the positive links between reducing stress and increasing productivity, and Good Days Ahead offers an easy way to empower individuals to meet life’s challenges in a format that complements existing wellness initiatives.
