Mental wellness is a critical component of a healthy and productive workplace

 

When employees feel supported, respected, and psychologically safe, they are more likely to stay engaged, collaborate effectively, and perform at their best. Prioritizing mental wellness helps reduce burnout, absenteeism, and turnover, while fostering a positive organizational culture built on trust and resilience. Workplaces that invest in mental health resources, encourage open communication, and promote work–life balance not only enhance individual satisfaction but also strengthen overall business performance.

Mental Health Counseling 

Members of the Manatee YourChoice Medical Plan have two primary mental health counseling options -- LAMP (Lifestyle Assistance Modification Program) and Samaritan Counseling Services. Click the links below for information about both options:
 

At Manatee YourChoice, we are proud to offer in-house counseling through our LAMP (Lifestyle Assistance Modification Program). Claribel Gill is here to support all members on the health plan and also provides on-site support at worksites during critical workplace events. Scroll down to learn more about the care and presence she brings to our members.

Manatee YourChoice is excited to introduce Samaritan Counseling Services as a new mental wellbeing resource for members enrolled in the YourChoice Medical Insurance Plan and employees. This enhanced benefit mirrors the structure of our in‑house LAMP program, offering the first five counseling sessions at no cost, followed by a $15 co‑pay per visit. Samaritan Counseling Services provides accessible, high‑quality support for a wide range of mental health needs and is available exclusively to employees and dependents covered under the YourChoice Health Plan. While LAMP remains available to all employees—including those not enrolled in the health plan—Samaritan Counseling Services expands access for health plan members, ensuring more options for compassionate, professional care when it’s needed most.
