Live Webinar | From Connection to Care: How Integrating Social Health Improves Mental Health Outcomes
Monday, November 17th, 2025 at 1:30 pm EST
Loneliness and social isolation have reached epidemic levels, driving up costs, worsening mental and physical health, and reducing engagement in care. As payers look for scalable ways to improve outcomes and member experience, social health has emerged as a critical, often-missing piece of the care continuum.
With Talkspace’s acquisition of Wisdo, a clinically proven social-health and peer-support platform, the two companies are bringing social and mental health together into a single stepped-care model. This approach meets members where they are, combining 24/7 peer support, social-health communities, group coaching, and therapy, to deliver the right support at the right time.
Join leaders from Talkspace, Wisdo Health, and the global movement on ‘social health’ for a discussion on:
- How improving social health can improve engagement and lower total cost of care across mental and physical health.
- How social health improves treatment initiation and adherence to therapy
- What is required for digital peer support to drive engagement and outcomes
- How payers are integrating social health into member experience and what have been the results.
- How social health platforms can capture ICD-10 Z codes and enable referrals to therapy and SDOH services.
- The planned Talkspace - Wisdo integrated model of care.
Panelists will explore the evidence, payer perspective, and implementation lessons that make social health integration a practical and measurable strategy for Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and employer populations.
