- Health coaching, which provides information and guided sessions on well-being topics such as dealing with conflict, time management, exercise, sleep, nutrition, and mindfulness. There is no limit to the number of Health coaching sessions employees can use.
- On-demand self-care content such as guided mindfulness and yoga videos; tips for stress reduction, maintaining healthy relationships, and healthy eating; and informational slides, videos, and articles that tackle topics in depth.
For scheduled counseling and health coaching, employees can look at the biographical information, clinical specializations, and photos of counselors and choose the one they feel best suits their needs. TimelyCare accommodates more than 250 languages and offers translation services. The service’s app and website comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and HIPAA.
