Under hospital cover

Under all levels of hospital cover*, Peoplecare offer tailored support programs designed to meet various mental health needs and assist you on your journey to mental wellbeing.

We offer two distinct programs: MindStep and Renew.

MindStep Health Program

MindStep is ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate anxiety and depression who are not currently under psychological care. This program is delivered by trained mental health coaches using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques. MindStep offers flexible, phone-based support to help manage mental health challenges effectively.
