Emotional and mental wellbeing

At Adobe, our wellbeing matters. It’s part of our mindset and culture, and we all have a role to play. Learn more about Adobe’s global Wellbeing strategy [PDF].

These Adobe benefits can help you handle everyday challenges and provide support for ongoing mental health.

Spring Health employee assistance program

When you’re struggling, you don’t have to go through it alone. Spring Health mental wellbeing support is available at no cost to you. The employee assistance program (EAP) provides you and your family with 12 free therapy sessions per person per year, mental wellbeing exercises, and work-life resources.

All interactions with the EAP are confidential. Adobe does not know who has accessed EAP services.

What happens when you contact the EAP

Visit Spring Health to activate your benefits. After a brief assessment, you’ll be assigned a dedicated care navigator who will act as your single point of contact. Your care navigator will recommend EAP resources or guide you to the appropriate EAP benefits, including personalized counseling or other treatment options.

You, your spouse or domestic partner, and your dependents aged 8 and older who reside in your household, each get 12 free sessions per calendar year.

Your EAP benefits

The EAP provides a variety of tools and services to help you feel your best. Read the Spring Health FAQs [PDF] for more information.

  • Urgent support. Connect with a licensed mental health professional immediately by calling the 24/7 Spring Health crisis support line: Call your country’s phone number, then choose option 2 for free, confidential support.
  • Personalized recommendations. Take assessments to identify the right care for your needs, learn more about yourself, and track your progress.
  • Dedicated care navigator. Receive guidance, which includes matching you with a therapist and scheduling appointments.
  • Therapy. Book sessions with trusted and diverse providers, at times that fit your schedule. You, your spouse or domestic partner, and your dependents aged 8 and older who reside in your household each get 12 free sessions per calendar year.
  • Mobile app. Get on-demand exercises for meditation, better sleep, and more via the Spring Health mobile app. 
  • Work-life resources. Talk to experts and find support for legal assistance, financial services, travel, and more. Visit adobe.springhealth.com, click on the “Access Work-Life Resources” button, and enter the code: adobe
  • Mental exercises. Access Moments, a library of on-demand wellbeing exercises, to get immediate relief from pressing concerns and build skills for long-term mental wellbeing.

Enrolling dependents in the EAP

You can set up therapy sessions online for dependents aged 8 and older who reside in your household by creating a Spring Health account for each dependent. You can then schedule a call with a care navigator for assistance, or you can search for a therapist on the website and book an appointment.

If you already have an account with Spring Health, simply sign in and add your dependents by going to the Things to Do section on the home page.
