With 79% of Hong Kong respondents experiencing stress, Cigna Healthcare Hong Kong expands access to early, preventive mental wellbeing support for eligible members and their dependants

HONG KONG, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cigna Healthcare Hong Kong today announced that eligible members covered by its Group Health Benefits solutions* can now access mental wellbeing coaching and self-guided resources through Headspace as part of their health benefits. The service is also available to eligible dependants aged 18 and above who are covered by the health plan.

Mental wellbeing continues to be an important consideration for employers in Hong Kong. The Cigna Healthcare International Health Global Study 2026 found that 79% of Hong Kong respondents experienced stress. Among workplace respondents, nearly half (49%) said their mental, behavioural or emotional health had affected their work performance, up from 43% in 2025. These findings point to the importance of making mental wellbeing resources easier to access as part of supporting employees’ whole health.

Through its app, Headspace offers eligible members access to confidential wellbeing coaching and self-guided resources designed to help them build healthy, consistent habits that support their mental wellbeing. Members can connect with trained coaches for personalised support and practical guidance and access resources focused on stress, sleep, focus, and emotional wellbeing 24/7. Headspace also offers personalised recommendations based on members’ goals, preferences and how they are feeling, helping them find resources relevant to their needs in the moment.

Michael Khan, Chief Executive Officer at Cigna Healthcare Hong Kong, said: "Mental wellbeing is an important part of whole health, and health benefits can play a meaningful role in making support easier to access. By extending access to Headspace, we’re giving eligible members practical resources that can fit into everyday life, helping them build healthier habits and navigate everyday challenges with greater confidence."

Headspace offers science-backed programmes focused on areas including resilience, stress, focus and sleep. The Headspace Workforce State of Mind Report 2026^[1] cites research finding that 30 days of Headspace use improved employee resilience by 11%.
