Cerebral Partners with the San Antonio Spurs to Expand In-Network Access to High-Quality Mental Health Care Across Texas
Partnership Aims to Increase Access to Care for Communities Across Texas
Cerebral, a fully comprehensive online mental health care provider, is proud to announce its new partnership with the San Antonio Spurs. Both organizations have a history of advocating for mental health, and this partnership is dedicated to increasing access to care for communities across Texas, with a focus on making mental health services more widely available and affordable.
Breaking Down Barriers to Care
According to KFF, since 2022, 30% of adults in Texas who reported symptoms of anxiety or depression said they needed counseling or therapy but didn’t receive it. This partnership aims to break down the barriers to care, offering convenient and comprehensive support, covered by insurance, so Texans of all backgrounds have access to professional care when they need it most.
Cerebral’s Mission
"At Cerebral, our mission has always been to break down barriers to mental health care and ensure that every individual has access to the high-quality support they need. Together, with the San Antonio Spurs, we’re not just creating opportunities for communities across Texas – we’re creating a culture where mental health is prioritized, understood, and supported at every level," said Cerebral President, Brian Reinken.
Dynamic Care Model
Cerebral is creating a new era of mental health care that goes beyond a traditional, static model by addressing both effectiveness and accessibility. Through dynamic care that combines a personalized, coordinated approach with in-network accessibility with partners like BlueCross, Cigna, UnitedHealth, and more, each individual can feel empowered to take control of their health on their terms. And the outcomes are the proof:
As of March 2024, at least 72% of Cerebral clients with moderate to severe anxiety and/or depression reported feeling better within 12 weeks.
Raising Awareness and Advocacy
Cerebral will leverage its partnership with the Spurs to raise awareness about mental health, share resources, and advocate for the importance of mental well-being in both the sports world and everyday life. In addition to signage and media presence at Spurs home games, Cerebral will host a mental health workshop for the Spurs Community Leadership Institute, a program designed to provide curated curriculum, expert panels, and group collaboration for Impact leaders in San Antonio.
