WeShare expands mental wellness resources for individuals, family, and couples, enabling complete mental wellness

Unite Health Share Ministries™ (UHSM), a nonprofit, faith-based health sharing ministry supporting Christian believers through member-to-member health care sharing memberships, is excited to announce expanded mental wellness support by partnering with BetterHelp. While WeShare by UHSM members already have access to counselor-led care for individuals, couples, and teens through a vast PPO PHCS network, available at over 1.2 million locations, members can now prioritize their mental wellness with BetterHelp's convenient access to online therapy.

As the world's largest, 100% online, therapy service, BetterHelp takes a tailored approach to counselor-led care that focuses on individuals, couples and wellness for teens. With more than 30,000 therapists available, BetterHelp will match WeShare members to a licensed therapist based on their individual preferences and needs, providing ultimate accessibility for families and individuals on the go. Now, WeShare members can access mental wellness care anytime, anywhere, with BetterHelp's phone, video or chat sessions.

"This partnership with BetterHelp helps our members feel completely cared for, especially where mental wellness is concerned," expressed Christopher Jin, UHSM President. "With these additional resources, our members can improve their day-to-day mental wellness; that's why we appreciate a preventative and proactive approach to health and wellness. We are excited to walk in lockstep with BetterHelp to improve mental wellness through counselor-led care for all of our members."

The professionals working through BetterHelp are licensed and credentialed therapists certified by their state's board to provide therapy. However, while the service may have similar care, it's not capable of substituting for traditional face-to-face therapy in every case. Please note that the provider won't be able to make any official diagnosis, fulfill any court order or prescribe medication.

“We’re excited and honored to roll out this partnership with UHSM and see great alignment between the two organizations,” added Kfir Eyal, VP of Sales and Partnerships for BetterHelp. “As mission driven and member-centric organizations, both BetterHelp and UHSM have the members and their needs at the center of our attention and at the heart of what we do.”

WeShare by UHSM is delighted to partner with BetterHelp to expand its community resources. Fostered through a preventative, contemporary approach to healthcare, WeShare reduces the modern-day costs associated with healthcare. With various partnerships and subscriptions, WeShare members have access to programs that provide community support and quality healthcare, connecting members with valuable resources. These resources include nonprofit Cancer Kinship; mental health expert and author Brittney Moses; motivational speaker and extreme endurance cyclist Grant Lottering; and youth-centered Fireside Ministry.
