For our final Weekly Benefit Highlight, we are sharing important information about free mental health services for all DSST team members, regardless of their enrollment in medical insurance. We are excited about the variety of behavioral health benefit options at DSST, most of which are offered at no cost to you:
- Keyaisha Thomas is our dedicated, no-cost, mental health counselor through Mines & Associates exclusively for DSST team members. DSST team members can schedule regular, virtual sessions with Keyaisha at any time by calling Mines & Associates at (303) 832-1068. These sessions are completely confidential and free to all staff. You can learn more about Keyaisha’s areas of expertise, qualifications, and interests here.
- DSST also offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) program through SupportLinc. All DSST team members and each member of their household can access this resource. Through our EAP provider, you can access up to eight free counseling sessions, a free legal session and a free financial counseling session. Additionally, the SupportLinc portal has access to a variety of virtual resources such as text therapy, self-guided modules and virtual support groups. You can find more information on the services offered and get started here.
- Finally, if you enroll in a DSST medical plan, you will also have access to behavioral healthcare. You can find a provider and understand costs by reaching out to Quantum, either via the portal at www.mydsst.com or by calling the DSST Care Coordinator team at (866) 989-3037.
You must waive or enroll in benefits by May 31, 2023, for the new benefit plan year that will begin on 7/1/23.
As always, if you need any support, please reach out to your HR Partner or email humanresources@scienceandtech.org.
