Who We Are
Our team members are a source of inspiration and support. There is an openness to collaborating cross functionally and communicating openly at Spring Health. We don’t have all of the answers yet, but we have the intent, action, and resources to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace with team member health in mind.
OUR VISION HAS REMAINED CONSISTENT FROM DAY ONE
Help individuals and organizations thrive by eliminating every barrier to mental healthcare.
Embrace diverse teams and perspectives
Diversity makes us stronger. Whether its differences in background, perspective, ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, age, or religion, we go beyond just having diverse talent—we work intentionally to support and amplify diverse voices around a table.
Move fast to change lives
We move quickly and intentionally to minimize suffering and do right by members. We make decisions courageously and swiftly, especially when those decisions are easily reversible. Knowing that work often fills the time allotted, we hold ourselves accountable to ambitious yet realistic timelines. We use the 80/20 rule and don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.
Candor with care
We believe in the power of candor to promote clarity and reduce friction, confusion, and stress. We do not refrain from speaking truth–including speaking truth to power–and we aim to do so with care and positive intent. We speak up when we don't understand or agree with each other, and deliver feedback with empathy, kindness, and genuine concern for others. Even when honesty may feel uncomfortable, we are direct and transparent–but always with care.

Our DEI Initiatives
A deeper dive into our existing and future plans
Inclusive hiring and development of underrepresented Talent
Our commitment extends to cultivating a workplace that is both diverse and inclusive, fostering an environment where every individual is not only valued but also supported. In the upcoming year, 2024, we are proactively implementing measures to boost the recruitment of underrepresented talent in crucial departments and leadership positions.
Spring Into Success: University recruiting and Spring-ternship program
In the summer of 2024, we are excited to welcome our inaugural group of interns. Through collaborations with HBCUs, HSIs, and diverse colleges and universities, we are sourced early talent to contribute to various departments and teams within our organization. From June to August, our interns, known as Springterns, will engage in a dynamic experience, benefiting from mentorship, diverse learning and development opportunities, and the chance to work cross-functionally on a Spring Health project.
Mentorship Program
In Q4 of 2022, our People team launched Sprout with Spring, our mentorship program aiming to enhance the professional development of our team members. This initiative has expanded to encompass over half of the company, employing a thoughtful approach to pairing team members based on their skills, goals and career interests. 98% of participants have expressed their satisfaction, indicating a positive reception to the program's sessions.
DEI Ambassadors: Company & Team Specific Learning & Development
In October 2023, we introduced a comprehensive Allyship & Inclusion training program that equipped 80% of our company with the necessary language and behaviors to genuinely act as allies. We are planning to enhance and rebrand this program in 2024. Furthermore, in our ongoing commitment to advancing DEI initiatives, we will address team-specific learning requirements through a DEI Ambassador program. This program is designed to integrate inclusive practices at the team and ground levels, ensuring a tailored approach to our continuous learning efforts.
Growing and Scaling Our 10 Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
In January 2022, we introduced our inaugural Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and today, we proudly boast a total of ten ERGs open for membership to all team members. As these ERGs expand, they now incorporate a crucial element—offering career development opportunities for their participants. These opportunities range from informative trainings and lunch and learns to engaging panel discussions and resource sharing events. Moreover, since 2023, our ERGs have extended their impact by hosting Open Houses, welcoming external candidates keen on exploring our company culture and facilitating networking opportunities with Spring Health team members. This successful initiative will persist into 2024, as we continue to hold Open Houses to connect with potential candidates and share insights into our vibrant company culture.
Increased partnerships with ERGs to support professional development
In January 2022 we launched our first Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). In January 2023, we scaled from five ERGs to a total of ten. ERGs provide career development opportunities for members and training. In Q3 2023, our ERGs are launching a company-wide allyship and inclusion training.

our team
What motivates me? I had a panic attack the eve of my 25th birthday. I knew then, I never wanted to feel like that again. To be part of a mission and team that is doing everything it can to help millions of others everyday to not feel like that or cope with their emotions and feelings might be the most impactful work I ever do in my lifetime.
