Evelyne Lauwers, Health Care expert: “We see today that the threshold for seeking professional help is still too high for two in three employees. We want to lower that threshold by our partnership with BloomUp. Together we make access to mental self-care easier through our Vanbreda app.”

Clovis Six, CEO BloomUp: “The right mental support is like a powerful engine that helps workers overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential. It creates resilience, boosts productivity and promotes a positive work environment.”

This Belgian health tech start-up, BloomUp, helps people to seek mental support more quickly using easily accessible digital solutions for preventive self-help and online matchmaking with psychologists and psychotherapists.
