Heroes Health is a new, app-based mental health initiative supporting healthcare workers and first responders throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The app provides brief surveys each week to empower these workers to check in with themselves, track their mental health symptoms, and connect with wellness resources, from 24/7 crisis helplines to meditation apps and even links to retail discounts.

Heroes Health: A National Initiative to Support Health Care Workers and First Responders Heroes Health is a new, app-based mental health initiative supporting healthcare workers and first responders throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The app provides brief surveys each week to empower these workers to check in with themselves, track their mental health symptoms, and connect with wellness resources, from 24/7 crisis helplines to meditation apps and even links to retail discounts. The project was founded by Emergency Medicine Physician, Dr. Sam McLean, in partnership with a consortium of medical centers, foundation funders and Google Cloud. Heroes Health is available free of charge through Google Play and Apple’s App Store to any healthcare worker or first responder in the United States with additional features for healthcare and EMS institutions that want to deploy it across their organizations. To learn more, please visit the Heroes Health Initiative website.

We’re excited to announce that Heroes Health has transitioned to the capable hands and innovative minds at Marvin Online Teletherapy. Marvin was founded in 2020 with the mission to improve mental health care delivery to clinicians.

First, to protect your privacy, no user data has been transferred to Marvin. This means that, if you haven’t already, you’ll need to download a new version of the Heroes Health application launched by Marvin from Google Play or the App Store.

Second, all Heroes Health users will continue to receive free mental health surveys and mental health symptom reports.

Third, if your employer has renewed their Heroes Health partnership through Marvin, you’ll continue to receive free personalized outreach if you report substantial mental health symptoms.
