DCPS has more than 120,000 enrolled K-12 students and currently employs approximately 12,500 full-time and part­ time personnel. DCPS recognizes that the prevalence of behavioral health diagnoses is increasing, and more individuals are seeking mental health care. However, the access to behavioral health providers remains extremely limited, with Florida being one of the lowest ranking states in terms of availability of care. Educators are often faced with feeling responsible for their students' social-emotional wellbeing, in addition to managing their own mental health. DCPS is taking steps to implement a holistic mental health strategy in an effort to meet individuals where they're at and destigmatize mental health needs. In addition to behavioral health visits available through the self-funded health plan administered by Florida Blue, DCPS currently offers employees: • care navigation and coordination services through New Directions, which includes support in finding a provider and referrals to community resources. • an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with a benefit of 6 visits per issue per year; • a complimentary, premium subscription to the Headspace meditation app; • monthly webinars and onsite presentations that focus on a variety of mental health topics; and • ongoing communication campaigns promoting the resources available through DCPS and the community. The Population of Focus: DCPS is seeking to expand access to care for its employees by offering a convenient, no-cost virtual mental health care benefit. Eligibility for these programs is defined as any regularly scheduled employee (full-time and part-time) without regard for any minimum hourly service requirement. This ITN is for a two-year agreement (with options to renew) to provide a comprehensive mental health care platform that will expand availability of care by connecting employees to a range of behavioral health solutions. Solutions should support the full spectrum of mental wellbeing, including clinical and subclinical concerns, life stressors and skill building. Vendor's response shall describe fully how they propose to accomplish the Scope of Services as defined in this ITN (see Section 2.0). If any services, functions or responsibilities not specifically described in this ITN are necessary for the proper performance and provision of services to the District, then they shall be deemed to be implied by and included within the scope of the services to the same extent and in the same manner as if specifically described herein.

We applaud your mission to improve access to care through a holistic, virtual solution that lessens the stigma associated with mental health issues. We look forward to partnering with you to solve the access, stigma, quality, and cost issues associated with getting mental healthcare. Unlike many traditional mental health vendors and new point solutions, we offer access to a comprehensive, on-demand mental health system that provides immediate access to care for common and complex issues - all through an easy-to­ access mobile app. This includes the ability to augment and coordinate with your preferred EAP, health plan, and other benefit vendors. Program Differentiators Ginger offers members high-quality, on-demand mental healthcare. Every member has access to personalized care, including real-time, text-based behavioral health coaching, guided self­ care, and video-based therapy and psychiatry. Our care providers, supercharged by augmented intelligence, work collaboratively to deliver evidence-based care that meets every member's unique needs. Additionally, as a part of our offering to Duval County Public Schools, we are including a more robust version of Headspace for all of your employees with access to live meditations and webinars, a self-service admin dashboard, marketing support, and engagement campaigns. Refer to Attachment 6 - Headspace for Work Overview for additional information. On-demand care for anyone: Mental health doesn't follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Day or night, we meet members with guided self-care, available on-demand, or live coaching, available within 2 minutes, 365 days a year. Our self-paced, skill-building content fits into everyday schedules and helps members take steady steps toward better mental wellbeing. For members who prefer to connect to a human in the moment of need, we can immediately connect them to an expert coach, trained to listen and provide coping strategies. Unlimited, 24/7 access to coaching and content is included in the PEPM fee. Proven, team-based model: Care works better, together. Our multidisciplinary, team-based approach brings coaches, therapists, and psychiatrists under one virtual roof to ensure no one falls through the cracks. The care team, superpowered by our EMR and augmented intelligence, works hand-in-hand around a care plan to provide the right level of care to members when they need it most. Peer-reviewed research shows that together is better: our multidisciplinary, team­ based care is proven to be more effective at helping members improve faster than coaching or Confidential Information Headspace Health I 4 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 therapy alone. Recent Ginger research indicates that 70% of members experience reduced depression symptoms and 59% of members experience reduced anxiety symptoms. Industry's only virtual provider system: We're not just an app; we're a provider group. 100% of Ginger therapists are W-2 employees who are fully dedicated to our culture, mission, and values. As full-time employees, Ginger clinicians receive full benefits, robust training, and participation in company initiatives. The result? Happy, satisfied clinicians who are empowered to practice at the top of their licenses, delivering positive outcomes for members. And we're not done building the best clinical workforce in the industry. Ginger is also spearheading a new path for future clinicians in digital health with the Ginger Training Institute, which provides an equivalent experience to current practicum and postdoctoral fellowships, but with the added benefit of specialization in our multidisciplinary, team-based, DEl&B focused, fully digital program. Innovative and comprehensive quality measurement: We work tirelessly to build the highest quality system of care that delivers improved member outcomes. Our clinical practitioners, research, computer and data science, and product development experts have built a system that has established a new standard for mental healthcare. Today, the Ginger system improves quality by capturing and analyzing outcomes metrics, conducting robust quality assurance reviews, and continuing to enhance our care team tools to ensure personalization and collaboration. These efforts ensure a consistent member experience and a standardized method to measure and track provider quality over time. Data-Driven Approach to Care: Ginger uses data science to scale care delivery via automation and intelligence. Using a rich data source that includes de-identified coach-member conversations, app utilization data, and clinical outc~mes, Ginger's data science efforts enable us to better understand member needs, personalize the experience, deliver high-quality care, and boost care team efficiency. Culturally responsive, inclusive care: We're dedicated to leveling the playing field and reducing the barriers to care for underrepresented populations and those experiencing intersectionality of identity. By developing content and resources for diverse audiences, hiring quality providers who reflect the diversity of our member population, and continuously training our care team on topics relating to LGBTQ+ identity, racial trauma, veterans, traditionally underserved communities, and more, we aim to increase access, improve outcomes, and realize a future where mental health is never an obstacle. Flexible EAP service options: Ginger focuses exclusively on providing immediate access to comprehensive mental health services - all via a secure and easy-to-access mobile app. With this being said, we are not just an app; we are a provider group that expands and improves access to a broad continuum of emotional and mental healthcare. Within this innovative offering, we can augment elements of a traditional EAP. This may include referrals to an EAP for in­ person support, work-life services, and other EAP programs. In fact, we currently do this on behalf of multiple employer clients in coordination with a range of EAP vendors. We look Confidential Information Headspace Health I 5 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 forward to using this experience to help you deliver a more effective, engaging mental health program in coordination with your preferred EAP. Summary Many aspects of the mental healthcare system are broken, including three fundamental challenges that our solution solves for: • Acceptance: Making it easier to talk about our mental health. • Access: Providing easy ways to get help, whether that is synchronous person-to-person or asynchronous self-directed care. • Affordability: Offering these solutions at a price that works for the average person. Our founders recognized this and reimagined the mental healthcare experience by bridging advanced technology and human interaction to help people address mental health issues - 24/7. We understand that employees are feeling more stressed, anxious, and burned out than ever before. With an escalating number of workers resigning from their jobs to prioritize their mental health,and wellbeing, employers are increasingly willing to invest in building a healthy and resilient workforce. Yet workplace challenges related to presenteeism, absenteeism, and retention belie systemic issues in mental healthcare that are creating barriers for employees. With the onset of COVID, organizations like Duval County Public Schools have experienced these issues at even greater levels. We are dedicated to overcoming these obstacles by offering beloved, affordable, and easily accessible on-demand mental healthcare services for all of life's moments.

Our behavioral health coaches respond in two minutes or less to outreach and provide care in the moment of need. While we are not a specific crisis hotline, we are a licensed behavioral healthcare system and as such have protocols established to manage escalated cases as we encounter them. This includes specific protocols to address low-, medium-, high-, and imminent-risk individuals. These protocols were created under the guidance of our clinical leadership team, using current industry guidelines and standards.

Briefly describe your provider network, Ginger's care team is available to support (coaches, therapists, psychiatrists, etc.). members at the national and local level. Indicate if providers are available on a local and/or national level. Ginger's team of coaches are available 24/7 to support members locally and nationally. Unlimited, 24/7 access to coaches is included in the PEPM fee. Ginger's clinical team includes staff licensed to provide services in states where members are located. On average, each clinician is cross-licensed in three states. Based on Ginger's clinical demand forecasts and historical usage, we strive to balance our respective clinicians' multiple licensure across a mix of states predicted to have or have experienced in the past high, medium, and low demand for services to ensure our therapists and psychiatrists have the capacity to meet changing member needs. Video sessions with a therapist or psychiatrist may occur during or outside regular business hours seven (7) days a week (including evenings and weekends), making these visits very convenient and easy to access. Specific hours of availability may vary by location and specialty. Our typical response time is two minutes or less for our behavioral health coaching team and seven days to the first available appointment with a therapist or psychiatrist (clinical appointment times may vary based on member-specific needs and location). It is important to note that Ginger's behavioral health coaches are employed directly by Ginger as W2 employees. Additionally, our nationwide team of licensed clinicians (therapists and psychiatrists) includes W2 employees as well as a limited Confidential Information Headspace Health I 11 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 number of contractors. In fact, all of our therapists are W2 employees. Our care team documents within Ginger's unified EMR and are subject to the same oversight and QA processes from our clinical leadership team. Having our own W2 employees as coaches and therapists allows us to circumvent many of the problems that are inherent in the "traditional network model." For example: -We are not vying for the calendar space of providers who are also servicing members from other carriers/vendors. It allows ds the full40 hours of our providers and facilitates load balancing to ensure that members receive high quality care quickly. This also helps ensure that we are not over scheduling our providers (avoiding burnout). -We can hire directly for diversity and areas of specialty to effectively match the unique makeup of the populations we serve. -We have oversight of the quality of care that is being provided. Because the vast majority of the care team is W2 employees of Ginger, we are able to train and manage the output of the team to align with Ginger's evidence- based, measurement-based and culturally responsive model of care. This model includes our collaborative care approach where we have built in protocols and processes that ensure the team is working together with the member's best interest at the center of our focus. 6. Do you outsource any of your services? Ginger does not outsource the services Please describe. offered in this proposal. In fact, 100% of our coaches and therapists are currently W2 employees. In certain limited situations to ensure response time commitments, Ginger Confidential Information Headspace Health I 12 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 may leverage a third-party to support clinical interactions with members during a spike in utilization in a particular geographic region, or to meet a request for a unique area of specialty. 7.

What is the length of time for each Therapy intakes are typically 60 minutes, coaching, therapy, and psychiatry visit? based on clinical need, with 45-minute follow-ups. Psychiatry intakes are typically 45 minutes, with 20-minute follow-ups. Members have unlimited, 24/7 access to coaches. The number and duration of text- based messages varies widely based on several factors. Our clients and members are geographically and demographically diverse, which drives different types of use. For example, some exchanges are short with many interactions; others are long and less frequent. We are also finding that some members use the dictate function (voice-to- text) on their phones, which further affects length and duration. Ultimately, the impact and success of each interaction is driven by our ability to personalize these exchanges at the member level. We are inclusive of many forms of expression and appreciate that each member is unique in their approach to texting with our coaches. 9. What is the average wait time for a coach, June 2022 - 54 seconds (median seconds to therapist, and/or psychiatrist?

Do you have a maximum number of Unlimited, 24/7 access to coaches and self- services covered (per year, per month, per directed content is included in the PEPM fee. issue, etc.)? We do not limit coaching sessions and provide unlimited access to self-care content. Based on previous discussions with Duval County Public Schools, our PEPM fee also includes up to 16 video counseling sessions with therapists or psychiatrists per member per year. Members that exhaust the 16 employer- provided clinical sessions included in the PEPM fee can continue with the same counselor/therapist with Ginger billing the service as a claim to the health plan, assuming Ginger is in-network with that plan. We have an executed contract with Florida Blue to be an in-network provider and anticipate finishing credentialing and operational set up by the end of 2022. The Ginger system is based on prevention and early intervention - approximately 80% Confidential Information Headspace Health I 15 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 of our members are subclinical and have their needs met by our coaching staff. Our coaches allow us to address individual needs while ensuring that therapy and psychiatry resources are available to those who prefer, request, or would benefit from clinical support. Together, this empowers us to deliver the right care, at the right time, and in the right place for each individual member. Throughout this process, we continually review status to ensure each member receives the right amount of support at the right time. This is managed through an evidence-based, member centric approach to step management that encourages utilization as needed without overuse. 11. How do you integrate with other vendors EAPs such as EAP, medical carrier, etc? Ginger can augment your existing EAP services by adding on-demand behavioral health coaching (unlimited 24/7 support within seconds), clinically-validated content, and access to video sessions with licensed therapists and psychiatrists. In fact, we currently do this on behalf of other employer clients and look forward to using this experience to help you deliver a more effective, engaging mental and emotional health program. We can provide referrals between EAPs and Ginger based on established protocols. When members present specific needs or require EAP services (e.g., in-person mental health support, legal/financial support), Ginger's coaching and member support teams can help connect members to EAP services. Health Plans Ginger currently maintains in-network (INN) arrangements as a provider with more than 20 different national and regional payers, Confidential Information Headspace Health I 16 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 Section 3: Technology & Security 12. Do you offer push notifications? Text capabilities? Confidential Information including entities such as Optum Behavioral Health, Cigna Behavioral Health, and several Blues plans. Ginger continues to add new plans every month. We have an executed contract with Florida Blue to be an in-network provider and anticipate finishing credentialing and operational set up by the end of 2022. After a member exhausts their available sessions (after their 16th session), they can continue to work with their Ginger clinician and Ginger will bill it as a claim to the in-network health plan. Other Ginger's member support and coaching teams have access to a "Benefits Tab" in our chat platform that contains an employer- approved list of other benefits available to the employee. For example, if a member requests or needs specialized in-person/in- office care, a coach may refer to the Benefits Tab and see that the member's employer offers a separate EAP, health plan, navigator, or other benefit program. The Ginger coach will then share this information with the member. Yes. While Ginger's coaches respond directly to members during chat interactions, we may also send system generated reminders to members (e.g., to re-engage with a coach after a period of inactivity). This is in addition to our ongoing population-level communication campaigns that are designed to increase engagement and access to care. Headspace Health I 17 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 Additionally, when members transition to therapy or psychiatry, coaches can continue supporting them in addressing day-to-day goals and challenges, as well as acting as an adjunct to the care plan put in place by their therapist or psychiatrist. For example, Ginger coaches may help with "homework assignments" in between therapy sessions and send comprehensive session notes to therapists to supplement their care plans. These more frequent coach touch points mean issues can potentially be flagged and addressed faster compared to traditional settings. 13. What languages is your platform Ginger services are available in English and available in? Spanish. 14. Please describe the role of artificial Ginger thinks about Al not as artificial but as intelligence in your delivery, if any. augmented intelligence. Our technology surrounds and supports our providers, reducing - and in many cases eliminating - administrative burden, as well as providing insights that can't be derived from traditional care channels. Here are a few ways we leverage Al: Automating clinical workflows - One of the most important ways we use Al is to help our team understand who to talk to next and why. By prioritizing tasks and recommending actions, we reduce the cognitive load on our coaches and clinicians, and improve decision making. Ultimately, these advances allow us to better scale care and reach more people who need support. Providing care insights - Natural language processing (NLP) allows us to derive greater insights from our coaching conversations. Key learnings from members' sessions, even complex discussions, are uncovered to optimize care. In some cases, this information might simply prompt us to use a Confidential Information Headspace Health I 18 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 new breathing exercise with a member. In other cases, it might direct us to incorporate a new approach, such as motivational interviewing, or add a therapist or psychiatrist to a member's care team. ' Flagging safety risks - In addition to deriving care insights, we also can swiftly identify red flags, which is critically important when it comes to mental health and safety. For example, our NLP identifies words such as "hopelessness," which can be a symptom of depression, but also suggest increased risk for suicide. Our care team then uses this information to assess risk and ensure members are getting the right level of care. Recommending content - Continually harnessing the richness of data, we have developed a content recommendation engine that actively personalizes self-guided content for members as new needs and challenges emerge during ongoing engagement with Ginger. This means we're deploying our clinically-validated content to members more effectively without requiring members to search for the most helpful content. 15.

The Ginger member experience begins when eligible members successfully download the Ginger app and register - available through iOS and Android. After answering two simple questions - "tell us how you're feeling" and "what does this impact" - members can access self-care content and are connected to behavioral health coaches who provide on-demand support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, via live, secure text-based chat. This new level of care gives members continuous access to help through an intelligent mobile app platform. Members who prefer or would benefit from a higher level of support are escalated to a nationwide team of licensed therapists and/or psychiatrists with the help of our coaches and member support team. Escalation is based on a combination of member preference, survey data, such as PHQ/GAD responses, member background from conversations, presenting concerns, and previous history. Confidential Information Headspace Health I 20 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 Coaches collaborate closely with this team of clinicians under a single virtual roof, leveraging a unified EMR. Coaches can continue supporting members with day-to- day goals and challenges, as well as acting as an adjunct to the care plan put in place by our therapists and psychiatrists. For example, Ginger coaches may help with "homework assignments" in between therapy sessions. More frequent coach touch points mean issues can be flagged and addressed faster compared to traditional settings. We continually review status to ensure each member receives the right amount of care at the right time. This is managed through an evidence-based, member-centric approach to step management that is underpinned by formal QA evaluations and ongoing clinical oversight. Together, this ensures each. member has the appropriate level of care. Ginger helps members across a wide range of issues (subclinical and clinical); however, our services may not be appropriate in all cases. Decisions regarding suitability for support are determined by our staff's judgment and specific guidelines. We refer individuals to other forms of support and care based on established protocols, including emergency services for acute crisis situations. This may also include referrals into an employer's EAP, health plan, navigator, or other benefit program based on member needs and preferences. 17. What formal assessments do you include Ginger asks members to complete the in your intake? What is the average duration following surveys, however, these are of the intake/screening process? optional and not used as gatekeepers to "pre-qualify" individuals for therapy or psychiatry. We believe immediate access to care is critical to achieving better mental health outcomes. Each survey only takes a couple minutes to complete. Confidential Information Headspace Health I 21 DoclD:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197cOe69b2 Depression: Ginger assesses depression via the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The PHQ-9 is one of the most validated assessments in mental health and is commonly used by clinicians in diagnosing depression and monitoring treatment response. Anxiety: To assess and track anxiety outcomes, Ginger uses the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener (GAD-7), which is also well validated in the general population. Resilience and adaptability: Ginger uses the CD-RISC-10, which has demonstrated robust validity, reliability, and practicality in measuring resilience. A multidimensional construct involving variables such as temperament and personality, resilience relies on problem-solving skills that enable individuals to cope with traumatic life events. 18. What criteria is used to determine At Ginger, you don't need a diagnosis to talk recommended services or triage? to someone, and that reduces the stigma and barriers around getting help. Members can conveniently connect with Ginger's team of behavioral health coaches - 24/7, 365 days a year. Unlimited, 24/7 access is included in the quoted PEPM fee. Taking a preventative approach to emotional health, we address issues before they evolve into greater challenges and provide support anywhere at anytime. Coaches assist members in taking slow, steady steps that lead to meaningful change in their lives, helping them overcome challenges in any number of domains, from sleep to mood to relationships. They check-in regularly to offer support and encouragement, track successes and setbacks, and provide resources, tips, and strategies to facilitate progress. Confidential Information Headspace Health I 22 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 Confidential Information As a licensed medical provider, our highly­ trained and supervised coaches have the ability to transition members to our team of licensed therapists and psychiatrists for those who prefer or would benefit from a higher level of support. This is typically based on a combination of member preference, member's presenting concerns, questionnaire data, such as automated PHO/GAD results, member background from conversations, and previous history. As referenced above, key criteria may include: -Member Preference -Severity of Symptoms (symptoms outside the scope of coaching or require clinical care in addition to coaching) -Complexity (member has more than one diagnosis or constellation of symptoms that indicate need for clinical care) -Risk (self-harm or other high risk behaviors) PHO/GAD Scores - Anxiety and depression symptoms don't resolve with coaching alone or suggest the need for therapy or medication -Keywords (automated detection system identifies multiple mentions of "key" words) -Usage Patterns (high usage patterns or needs frequent support) When escalation is needed for a higher level of care, coaches review options the member has available to them through Ginger, as well as through their employer's other benefits - all of this information is quickly available to the coach. Next, the coach will discuss the referral with the member, communicating the reason for the referral and detailing the options. The coach will work with the member to determine the best Headspace Health I 23 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 Confidential Information course of action for them and support the member in taking next steps, such as getting an appointment with a Ginger therapist or psychiatrist in coordination with our Member Support team. Coaches may also direct them to their EAP, health plan, or navigator for example. When members transition to a Ginger therapist or psychiatrist, they may continue working with coaching; coaching can continue supporting them in addressing day­ to-day goals and challenges, as well as acting as an adjunct to the care plan put in place by a Ginger therapist or psychiatrist. For example, Ginger coaches may help with "homework assignments" in between therapy sessions and send comprehensive session notes to therapists to supplement their care plans. These more frequent coach touch points mean issues can potentially be flagged and addressed faster compared to traditional settings. For individuals with more severe psychiatric conditions, coaches will strongly encourage a member to seek additional care, or in some cases require the member to do so in order to continue in coaching. Examples of situations that require escalation include: individuals with chronic mental illness and severe trauma, potential of harm to self or others, and significant mental instability (hallucinations, delusions, extreme mood swings, etc). Ginger helps members across a wide range of mental health issues (subclinical and clinical); however, our services may not be appropriate in all cases. Decisions regarding suitability for support are determined by our staff's judgment and specific guidelines. Our care team is always required to practice Headspace Health I 24 Doc1D:dc770977a8b9a2bd71ab04e4f57b23197c0e69b2 within their sphere of competence.

First and foremost, coaches are there to listen, build rapport, and provide empathetic support. Coaching takes place via secure text-based chat, which is why coaches must have excellent writing skills and the ability to convey warmth through this medium. Coaches make members feel welcome and supported, and maintain a calm presence regardless of the circumstance. Over time, coaches assist members in taking slow, steady steps that lead to meaningful change in their lives. They check-in regularly to offer support and encouragement, track successes and setbacks, and provide resources, tips, and strategies to facilitate progress. Coaches are an integral part of each member's multidisciplinary team. They use previous experience, good judgment, and specific guidelines to discern when to I refer members to other internal and external resources. Coaches collaborate with Ginger's nationwide team of psychiatrists and therapists to help develop and reinforce decisions. Additionally, Ginger's on-demand health system leverages augmented intelligence to empower coaches to know when to reach out to members, when to suggest a higher level of support, and which members might be at risk. Because of Ginger's human­ driven, data-powered approach, members get the right care, at the right time. It is important to note that the support coaches provide is non-clinical in nature. Coaches are not licensed and do not make medical diagnoses, provide clinical treatment, or prescribe medications.

Psychotherapy leverages knowledge gained from exploring past behavior and experiences to effect change in the present or future. Psychotherapy administered by a licensed clinician can be leveraged with coaching to ensure maximum benefit for a member. Ginger's licensed therapists provide virtual video sessions with patients over the Ginger mobile and video platform. They start by conducting evaluations and assessments according to patient needs and standards of care. They are passionate about practicing evidence-based care, measuring their impact, and continuously learning from their experiences and the community.

They are licensed and board-certified/eligible to practice in the state where members are located. Unlike a therapist, a psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication and monitor its effects on their members' health. They offer medication support for a variety of conditions from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Ginger psychiatrists are passionate about practicing evidence-based care, measuring their impact, and continuously learning from their experiences and the community. They provide virtual video sessions with patients over Ginger's mobile and web-based video platform.

Coaching, which meets the needs of approximately 80% of members, and is offered as the entry point to our program, allows us to address individual needs, while therapy and psychiatry resources are available to those who prefer, request, or would benefit from clinical support. Together, this empowers us to deliver the right care, at the right time, and in the right place for each individual member.

The care team, superpowered by our EMR and augmented intelligence, works hand-in-hand around a care plan to provide the right level of care to members when they need it most. Peer-reviewed research shows that together is better: our multidisciplinary, team-based care is proven to be more effective at helping members improve faster than coaching or therapy alone. Recent Ginger research indicates that 70% of members experience reduced depression symptoms and 59% of members experience reduced anxiety symptoms. Additionally, having our own W2 employees as coaches and therapists allows us to provide collaborative care in a way that circumvents many of the problems that are inherent in the "traditional network model." Throughout this process, we continually evaluate status to ensure each member receives the necessary amount of support at the right time.

When members transition to a Ginger therapist or psychiatrist, they may continue working with the coaching team; coaches can continue to support them in addressing day-to-day goals and challenges, as well as act as an adjunct to the care plan put in place by a Ginger therapist or psychiatrist. For example, Ginger coaches may help with "homework assignments" in between therapy sessions and send comprehensive session notes to therapists to supplement their care plans. These more frequent coach touch points mean issues can potentially be flagged and addressed faster compared to traditional settings. Section 6: Utilization & Outcomes 24.

During implementation, your Ginger team will provide access to evergreen content and creative to support your pre-launch communications efforts. -Launch: At this stage, employers should generate their eligible population's interest - educate them on the importance of mental health, make them aware of Ginger, and start driving adoption. A couple of days after you've introduced Ginger to your population, Ginger will launch the email series campaign to drive sign-ups and engagement with Ginger. -Post-launch: At the Discovery stage, we'll help gather insights from the launch and take a closer look at your population and channels. A couple weeks after launch, we will use those insights to develop and fine tune a communications plan for the quarter that will boost adoption, support your efforts, and continue to drive sign-ups and engagement.
