In an ever expanding goal of development and excellency across all sectors, Dubai is demonstrating a much needed investment towards mental health in the region.
While many assume that mental health and psychological awareness need to occur on a personal level, the fact is that availability, accessibility and awareness are trickled down by policies and initiatives put in place by responsible governments.
The Dubai National Insurance has launched a partnership with Takalam, an award-winning mental health platform that allows users to book therapy and counselling sessions directly through Takalam’s application.
Customers of DNI will have unlimited access to all the benefits Takalam has to offer and makes mental health services, that are still perceived as luxuries in the Middle East, more accessible.
DNI has taken this initiative in an effort to stress the importance of receiving mental health services, putting it on an equal footing as physical health. Commenting on this monumental partnership, Ms. Khawla Hammad, Takalam’s CEO said: “Our partnership with DNI is a significant milestone in Takalam’s journey that addresses the growing demand of accessible mental well-being services. On the heels of the pandemic, and an economy filled with uncertainty, DNI customers, particularly corporations and entities that provide their employees with insurance services, can now benefit from the rapid need of mental well-being programs.
