SchoolCare was founded in 1995 as the New Hampshire School Health Care Coalition by bringing together associations representing public entity management and labor groups in the state. The Coalition was formed in response to issues of providing employee health care, including quality, choice, cost control and service that public entities were facing. Today, over twenty-five years later, SchoolCare is still a well-regarded resource for public entities facing these same issues.

Well-Being Recharge 2025
Boost Your Mental Well-Being with Behavioral Health Support
Published January 22, 2025
Thank you for participating in the 2025 Well-Being Recharge. If you would like to participate in this week’s raffle, the entry form is linked at the end of the article. This week 100 participants will receive a $10 gift card to your choice of Dunkin’, Starbucks or Panera Bread for a quick pick-me-up!
Seeking support for behavioral health is crucial for maintaining overall well-being. Just as physical health requires attention and care, mental health needs to be nurtured and managed. When we experience emotional challenges or struggle with conditions like anxiety, depression, or stress, reaching out for support can be transformative. It can help to de-escalate a worsening condition and teach healthy coping strategies, present new perspectives, and strengthen resilience.
In FY 2024, 39% of SchoolCare participants had a behavioral health diagnosis, as compared to a national rate of 25%. The top presenting conditions were anxiety, reactive stress disorders (RAD) and depression. As a SchoolCare/Cigna participant, you have access to an ever-evolving suite of services both in-person and virtual to meet your behavioral health needs. With numerous options right at our fingertips on our computers and mobile devices, seeking support has never been easier.
Below find resources for accessing support for your behavioral health needs and earning cash incentives:
Get Help Finding an In-Person or Virtual Provider
Check out this article and video about the Guided Navigation tool in your myCigna portal that guides you through a self-assessment about how you are currently feeling and what your care preferences are. This can help you figure out where to start if you are unsure of what kind of support you need. Or, to simply find a provider, login to myCigna on your computer and click “Find Care and Costs.” In the mobile app, tap “Mental Health” on the home screen. Follow the prompts to find an in-person or virtual provider based on your preferences.
Access Your Employee Assistance Program
Access confidential support at no cost for several needs including emotional health and family support, work/life resources, financial and legal assistance and job or career support. Click here or navigate to the “Employee Tools” page under the EAP menu item at the top of the page to learn more about the Employee Assistance tools available to you. You can also access more information in your myCigna portal under the “Coverage” menu.
Reframe Your Mindset with Happify and iPrevail
If you just haven’t been feeling yourself lately, but aren't looking to dive into one-on-one counseling a couple of tools found under the EAP resources at myCigna.com may help.
- Happify is a free app for SchoolCare/Cigna participants that uses science-based activities and games to help you overcome negative thoughts, stress, and life's challenges.
- iPrevail is an online tool to help in overcoming anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, panic, and more with on-demand coaching and personalized lesson plans based on proven cognitive behavioral therapies.
Get started in your myCigna portal, click EAP under the coverage tab and find Happify and iPrevail in the Behavioral Health Resources.
