CuraLinc Healthcare, a leading provider of employee mental health and wellbeing programs, announced today a strategic partnership with Joshin, a comprehensive support platform built by and for the disability and neurodivergent community. Combining expert human guidance with accessible digital tools, Joshin offers compassionate, customized care that helps individuals navigate work and life with confidence. 

Through this collaboration, CuraLinc will offer clients access to Joshin’s personalized navigation, one-on-one coaching, self-guided digital resources and community support groups—all specifically designed to support the unique and intersecting needs of individuals with disabilities and neurodivergent conditions and their caregivers, with or without a diagnosis. Managers and company leaders will also benefit from training on allyship and inclusive hiring, helping employers drive meaningful change across their organization. 

Neurodiversity and disability in the workplace 

Today, an estimated 15-20% of the U.S. population is neurodivergent or has a disability, and 17% of Americans are caring for an adult with a disability. Neurodivergence is also closely linked to mental health conditions, with half of neurodivergent adults reporting missed work due to a lack of support. Despite the significant prevalence and needs, this community is often underserved by a fragmented benefits system. Offering inclusive, affirming support directly to employees, caregivers and managers empowers organizations with the necessary tools to build more equitable workplaces. 

“At CuraLinc, we believe that mental health care should reflect the diverse experiences and identities of today’s workforce,” said Matt McCreary, Chief Product Officer at CuraLinc Healthcare. “Partnering with Joshin enables us to expand our holistic approach to care by connecting employees and their loved ones to affirming, accessible support that improves wellbeing and fosters inclusivity.” 

Delivering meaningful impact 

The support and resources offered by Joshin are all developed and delivered by professionals with lived and licensed experience. With Joshin’s personalized support, 52% of employees have voluntarily disclosed a disability or neurodivergence, and 68% improved productivity through support and goal setting.  

“We deeply respect that Curalinc recognizes the need to partner with a solution built for and by the community. Authentic neurodiversity and disability support comes from lived experience, not market trends,” says Melissa Danielsen, Co-founder and CEO at Joshin. “Together, we’re reshaping mental health care by bridging the gaps in neuro-affirming support and workplace accessibility.” 

Through this partnership, CuraLinc and Joshin are addressing a critical gap in employer-sponsored mental health programs by elevating support for historically underserved populations. This holistic approach improves access to essential care and drives significant cost savings for employers, leading to higher engagement, increased satisfaction and better overall health outcomes for employees.
