Mental Health Support Services: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how residents in the United Arab Emirates can access counseling and mental health resources through their existing health insurance.

This initiative provides residents with access to professional counseling and various mental health resources to help manage wellbeing and psychological health.

Who it's for

This service is designed for all residents living in the United Arab Emirates who are experiencing mental health challenges. Specifically, it is intended for those navigating the effects of stress or burnout in their daily lives.

What you get

If you qualify, you gain access to professional counseling and a range of mental health resources. These tools are provided to help you manage your mental wellbeing and address the pressures of your environment or professional life.

What it costs you

The cost of these services is often covered by your existing health insurance. Because coverage varies depending on your specific plan, you should check your provider list to understand exactly what is included and what your specific coverage looks like.

The catch to know

The biggest hurdle for many people is simple awareness: many residents forget that mental health support is covered under standard insurance plans. Many people assume they must pay out-of-pocket for these services, but you should first verify your policy to see if these resources are already part of your coverage.

How to apply

  1. Review your current health insurance policy documents to understand your specific benefits.
  2. Check your insurance provider's list of approved specialists and mental health facilities.
  3. Contact your insurance provider or a qualified healthcare professional to discuss your needs and schedule an appointment.
