Just like the human body, EWTF programs are always in a state of motion—improving, evolving, and growing. BHS, our employee assistance program (EAP) provider, recently underwent a transformation to become an even better version of the EAP that adds so much value to our members’ overall health resources. BHS, operating under the new umbrella of ReviveHealth, has created a new approach called Revive & Thrive to connect our members to mental health services.
While all of the same mental health services our members have depended on are still available through BHS, the Revive & Thrive initiative brings a different model of delivery to these services, one that resembles more of a concierge experience.
Revive & Thrive aims to not only provide the services our members need but to improve engagement with these services; that is to get more of our EWTF participants to use the mental health resources they have available to them.
Among the many notable improvements to our members’ BHS benefits under Revive & Thrive is that now EWTF members can participate in eight free counseling services per concern, per year. Prior to Revive & Thrive, the counseling services were based per person, rather than per concern, and were capped at a total of eight per year per person.
Revive & Thrive gives users access to a master’s-level trained personal care coordinator who will “walk” them through the process to ensure they are connected to the right provider or providers. These dedicated liaisons serve as a personal concierge to determine a course of action, connect directly to the appropriate mental health professionals, and educate EWTF participants on the benefits and options available to them. Revive & Thrive makes it easier for users to get the help they need, particularly at a time when they may be feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable, and returns back to the importance of a human connection between provider and user when it comes to mental health care.

Just like the mental health services previously under BHS, Revive & Thrive is still free of charge to all EWTF participants and maintains complete confidentiality.
