MODERN HEALTH’S “CIRCLES” HONORED WITH FAST COMPANY’S 2021 WORLD CHANGING IDEAS
AWARD

NEW YORK, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Modern Health, a leading workplace
mental health platform supporting 220+ enterprises globally, today was
recognized as part of Fast Company’s 2021 World Changing Ideas. The company was
recognized as an honoree in the health category for Circles, the company’s
recently-launched community-based care offering that provides mental health
support via virtual provider-led group sessions. Available to members and
non-members alike on Modern Health’s website and app, Circles provide a live
judgement free space for individuals to learn, share, and find community on
topics that impact their wellbeing.

“Destigmatizing mental health starts with creating community and conversation to
help us know we're not alone in what we're facing," says Alyson Watson, CEO and
founder of Modern Health. "We developed Circles as a way to support people
through major societal and geopolitical challenges that we face on a day-to-day
basis, led by therapists and coaches who understand participants' unique
cultural context and community. I'm incredibly proud that Fast Company has
recognized Circles for its ability to extend care at scale, while creating safe
spaces for people to find community around mental health."

Circles was originally created as a resource to extend support and relief at
scale at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, it has evolved into
one of Modern Health’s core care offerings to offer compassionate spaces that
support people of different backgrounds and life circumstances. This includes
support and healing for specific groups of individuals -- including Circles for
Healing Black Communities, Celebrating Transgender Voices, and Healing Asian
Communities – and for individuals with other targeted mental health support
needs, like Building Resilience, Quieting Negative Thoughts, Parenting Stress,
Coping with Isolation, Managing Stress and Burnout, Building Healthy Habits, and
more. Circles has seen immediate success: after one week, 88% of Circles were
filled and 53% of registered attendees had signed up for more than one session.
In just a few months, Circles have reached over 6,000 people through 250+ group
sessions.

Circles utilizes a variety of clinically-informed practices and formats
depending on the subject matter of the group. Members have the flexibility to
choose between three Circles formats – Discussion, Workshop, or Listen & Learn –
based on whether they’re looking to share and connect with others, put skills
into practice or just observe and learn. For an additional fee, employers
looking to bring Circles to their company can request private Circles for their
employees, with a range of topics, providers, and themes.

Now in its fifth year, the World Changing Ideas Awards honors the businesses,
policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed
to pursuing innovation when it comes to solving health and climate crises,
social injustice, or economic inequality. This year, there were 33 winners, more
than 400 finalists, and more than 800 honorable mentions—with Health and
Wellness, AI & Data among the most popular categories. A panel of eminent Fast
Company editors and reporters selected winners and finalists from a pool of more
than 4,000 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology,
and more. Plus, several new categories were added, including Pandemic Response,
Urban Design, and Architecture. The 2021 awards feature entries from across the
globe, from Brazil to Denmark to Vietnam.

Showcasing some of the world’s most inventive entrepreneurs and companies
tackling exigent global challenges, Fast Company’s Summer 2021 issue (on
newsstands May 10) highlights, among others, a lifesaving bassinet; the world’s
largest carbon sink, thanks to carbon-eating concrete; 3D-printed schools; an
at-home COVID-19 testing kit; a mobile voting app; and the world’s cleanest
milk.

“There is no question our society and planet are facing deeply troubling times.
So, it’s important to recognize organizations that are using their ingenuity,
impact, design, scalability, and passion to solve these problems,” says
Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Our journalists, under the
leadership of senior editor Morgan Clendaniel, have discovered some of the most
groundbreaking projects that have launched since the start of 2020.”
