BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

OVERVIEW

Rethink Benefits (Rethink) is an optional behavioral health program that supports caregivers of children with learning, social or behavior challenges or developmental disabilities.

Rethink services can help caregivers better understand, teach and communicate with children who have autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, intellectual and learning disabilities, speech/language problems or ADD/ADHD.

SERVICES

When you use Rethink services, you're eligible for:

  • 14 hours of consultations via phone or live chat with a dedicated board-certified behavior expert who is a master's or doctoral level clinician. Common consultation topics include:
    • Teaching new skills.
    • Addressing problem behaviors at home.
    • Difficulty with social skills or following instructions.
    • Troubleshooting lack of progress.
    • Collaborating with school and other providers.
  • 24/7 access to behavioral health tools and resources, including:
    • How-to videos depicting behavior experts and educators teaching children skills.
    • On-demand web training.
    • Written lesson plans.
    • Printable materials.

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible to use Rethink, you must be a full-time, part-time or PRN employee.

You may invite as many of your family members and other care team members to access Rethink as you like. No formal diagnosis is required, there are no age restrictions and Rethink is completely confidential. The child does not need to be your dependent. For example, if your nephew has developmental delays and you believe his family could benefit from Rethink, you can access Rethink and invite his parents as well.

COSTS

There is no cost to you, your family members or other care team members who use Rethink.
