Pathways FAQ

What are Pathways?

Pathways are tailored programs that use curated in-app Calm content to guide you in developing skills that you can use to tackle specific mental health challenges and improve your well-being overall. Pathways will be about 2 weeks long with new guidance typically sent every other business day to help you learn practical tools and techniques to apply to your daily life. Your organization can add you and your colleagues to a Pathway and choose a Pathways start date within their Partner Portal account.

Can my dependents enroll in Pathways?

Chosen dependents on your Calm Business benefit will not be eligible to enroll in Pathways.
