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.
