We are passionate about mental health.

In an era where mental health is gaining well-deserved recognition as an essential aspect of overall well-being, a groundbreaking initiative has emerged to address the needs of those who care for others. Carecoins, the innovative digital currency for mental health services, is poised to revolutionize the way we support the mental health of care workers and caregivers around the world.

The Birth of Carecoins

Carecoins were born out of a deep sense of appreciation for the dedicated professionals who selflessly tend to the physical and emotional needs of others. These individuals work tirelessly in the healthcare and caregiving industry, providing crucial support to those in need. Yet, their own mental health and well-being often take a back seat.

The brainchild of a forward-thinking group of people who really go the extra mile at Red Umbrella , Carecoins were created to address this critical issue. This digital currency isn't just a means of immediate mental health support; it's a symbol of gratitude and an instrument for change.

How Carecoins work

Carecoins are a digital system of pre-paid coins  designed specifically to fund mental health services for care workers and caregivers. The unique aspect of this digital mental health currency is that it operates on a donation-based model, where people can contribute to the mental health support of these essential workers.

We set up Carecoins to support as many people as possible.

Employee Assistance Programmes (known as EAP’s), are notoriously underused, and you pay for the under usage. In fact, they can actually create an environment whereby it’s not in the interest of the provider you pay to support you, because by doing so, it will greatly affect their profits.

Another huge problem is that traditional EAP’s base their pricing on everyone in the company having a handful of sessions each, which is nothing like reality. What mostly happens, is that some staff won’t need any sessions at all, whereas others will need much more support.
‍
Its no fault for commercial entities to focus on profit; but this means that the less support they give, the more profit they will make. This makes no sense at all when your goal is to effectively look after your staff’s wellbeing.

At Care Coins, we set out to make a system that guarantees the most effective EAP without paying for non-usage, and getting the preventative as well as the reactive services you need when you need it.

Mental Health First Aid in the workplace is an important part of the workplace strategy, but all too often, companies engage in this procedure, but fail to follow up with support and effective monitoring.

We provide the best MHFAider training through our partner’s
‍Red Umbrella.

And we don’t stop there. Having a reactive EAP system won’t work on its own, so we offer proactive measures too. This includes monthly check-ins, bespoke workshops based on the anonymous feedback from your MHFAiders and staff, as well as bespoke e-learning and an extensive choice of management training.

We are committed to putting all profits and donations into our Care Coin pot which supports those less fortunate.

‍Our bottom line is your wellbeing.
