Employers are looking beyond engagement metrics and asking how mental health programs may influence the total cost of care.

Join us as Spring Health’s actuarial team lead, Casey Smolka, reviews findings from their published and third-party–validated analyses examining the financial impact of mental health support. We’ll explore trends across medical spend, productivity, retention, and high-cost conditions — and discuss how to evaluate both “soft” and “hard” value in a benefits strategy.

Designed for brokers, this session will provide a practical framework for assessing mental health investments and approaching ROI conversations with greater clarity and confidence.

Speaker

Casey Smolka, Associate Director of Actuarial Analytics | Spring Health
