Health benefits technology company Accolade says it will provide access to mental health support, including on-demand virtual therapy, in partnership with mental health service Ginger.

The partnership, announced Thursday morning, will include proactive outreach to participating Accolade members deemed at risk of mental health challenges, based on data analysis. Accolade says the new service recognizes the “growing emotional and mental health crisis” impacting people and families during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accolade, with headquarters in Seattle and Philadelphia, has customers including Comcast Cable, American Airlines, Lowe’s, and State Farm. It offers a concierge service that helps employees of its customers and their families navigate their health benefits. The company, which has 1.7 million members, made its initial public offering in July.
