Lyra Global


UCEAP has partnered with a mental health service provider, Lyra. Lyra uses a combination of counselors, clinicians, technology, and research-backed therapies to develop a personalized treatment for your unique situation.


You can connect with Lyra in person, via video or by phone. And if you prefer the DIY approach, Lyra’s online library of videos, articles, strategies, and meditations can help you tackle your current issue and anything else that might arise in the future. Lyra allows you to participate in up to 20 mental health counseling sessions for no additional fee.


No paperwork, no fees required for Lyra; simply sign up and attend. If you need more than 20 sessions during your program, Lyra will work with the travel insurance to transfer the billing without disrupting the treatment program. This will allow you to continue seeing the same therapist.

 

Coverage begins immediately and you can access Lyra Services by going to the website linked here (click!). 


Although the website says, “UC SHIP,” you do not have to be a member of UC SHIP to use Lyra services. UCEAP teamed up with UC SHIP to use Lyra mental health services and all UCEAP students have access to Lyra.
