Calm Health

Calm's invitation-only app from employers and health plans: self-guided programs for stress, sleep, anxiety and depression, plus screenings.

Available with limits.

Only by invitation through an employer, health plan or care team.

Checked 2026-10-26 · apps.apple.com, mass.gov

If your employer, health plan or care team offers Calm Health, you register through their link and then download the app at no cost. You take short screening questionnaires and get a plan of self-guided programs, meditations and sleep content. It is not therapy and does not include a clinician.

  • Free through your employer or health plan
