Mental Health for Workers

Lean on your benefits and the Church for mental health support

Everyone has mental health, but not everyone has mental illness. Mental health and mental illness are not the same.

Stress, anxiety, depression – all mental health issues that if left unchecked can contribute to health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Of course, poor physical health can also lead to poor mental health – a never-ending cycle, if you don’t address it.

That’s why Concordia Health Plan benefits include resources to help protect your mental health, helping you and those who you love to be healthier and happier.

Concordia Plans, along with The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, want you to know that we’re here with the mental health resources you may need, and we encourage you to use them. It’s OK to ask for support.

If you’re feeling like you may harm yourself or someone else, call 911 or the Suicide Prevention Hotline 800-273-8255.

Resources for Concordia Health Plan members

Be sure to also check with your district, circuit or employer for more resources available at the local level or through your ministry.

The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

The EAP: A good resource for mental health support

The EAP can support you in so many ways, especially with your mental health. Access the EAP for six free sessions per topic (e.g., stress, depression) through:

  • A virtual counseling option.
  • Over the phone.
  • In-person.

You’ll get real solutions for a range of different topics, including emotional health, stress management, as well as grief and loss. Services for all of these concerns — and more — are confidential and available to anyone in your household.
