The model

How Mindance works: four stages rather than one solution

Mental health does not progress in a straight line, which is why Mindance is not a single offering. Four stages work together and are available at the same time – from what somebody can do alone to acute help.

Everyday lifeAcute crisis

  1. Prevention

    Do something yourself, anytime

    Free access to the Mindance app and web-app for all employees.

    • Courses and exercises based on scientifically proven approaches
    • Short quick wins for a stressful working day
    • Available anytime via app or web-app, in the office or at home

  2. Knowledge

    Understand it and start talking

    Live formats with a nationwide team of experts, also available on demand.

    • Top speakers and more than 2,000 events per year
    • Weekly yoga and meditation classes

    • Available on weekends as well
    • Handed straight to a certified professional

Foundations

Data protection and science. Two questions, answered openly.

Both belong to any account of Mindance: where the data goes, and what the content rests on.

  • GDPR-compliant, servers in the EU

    Development and data-protection alignment take place in Germany; all data is processed exclusively within the EU.

  • Anonymised reporting

    Companies cannot see personal usage data. Reports are aggregated and anonymised and are only created above a minimum number of users.

  • Content from psychologists and subject-matter experts

    Developed on the basis of scientifically proven approaches and prepared for everyday use.

  • ZPP-certified prevention courses

    Reviewed and certified by the German central testing office for prevention – the condition under which statutory health insurers reimburse the cost.

  • Not a replacement for psychotherapy or medical treatment

    The content and the coaching serve prevention and guidance, not the treatment of illness. In an acute crisis, emergency medical services or a crisis hotline are the right route, not an app.

For individuals

Three certified prevention courses

Private individuals use Mindance through an online course certified by the German central testing office for prevention. Each course lasts 8 weeks with one module per week; no medical certificate is required.

99 € per course

One-time, incl. VAT. No subscription, no follow-up costs, 1 year of access to all Mindance content. Statutory health insurers usually reimburse up to 100 % of the cost.

Frequently asked questions about Mindance

Select a question

Mindance is an app and web app for mental health from Germany. It combines more than 1,000 interactive video, audio and text items across over 40 topics – from stress management, sleep and resilience to leadership and family – with personal coaching and fast help in acute situations. Mindance is aimed at both private individuals and companies.

Mindance addresses two audiences:

  • Private individuals who want to strengthen their mental health – for example through an online prevention course subsidised by their health insurance.
  • Companies and organisations that want to offer their employees a holistic EAP and corporate health management (BGM) solution.

The certified online prevention courses cost a one-time fee of 99 € (no subscription). After completing all modules, the participation certificate can be submitted to the statutory health insurer, which usually reimburses up to 100 % of the cost. The price also includes 1 year of free access to all Mindance content. For companies there are separate packages (Mindance Premium and Enterprise).

The content is developed by psychologists, systemic counsellors and subject-matter experts on the basis of scientifically proven approaches, and prepared so it can be applied in everyday life. The prevention courses are reviewed and certified by the German central testing office for prevention (ZPP) – the condition under which statutory health insurers reimburse the cost.

Data protection is central to Mindance:

  • GDPR-compliant & “made in Germany”: development and data-protection alignment take place in Germany.
  • Server location EU: all data is processed exclusively within the EU.
  • Anonymised reporting: companies cannot see personal usage data. Reports are aggregated and anonymised and are only created above a minimum number of users.

The details are in the privacy policy.

Mindance is not just a meditation offering but a support system of several stages: prevention (content for everyday life), knowledge (live talks and events), individual guidance (personal one-to-one and group coaching with employed coaches) and acute support (a 24/7 hotline for crisis situations). It therefore covers the span from daily prevention to fast help.

For companies, Mindance offers an EAP/BGM solution with a free app and web app for all employees, more than 50 employed coaches, a 24/7 coaching and emergency hotline, over 2,000 live events per year, an anonymised HR dashboard, corporate branding as well as a news and event tool. The online psychological risk assessment (GBU-Psyche) can be added. Available in the Mindance Premium and Enterprise packages.

Mindance is not a replacement for psychotherapy or medical treatment. The content and the coaching serve prevention and guidance, not the treatment of illness. In an acute crisis, emergency medical services or a crisis hotline are the right route, not an app. What applies before taking a course is set out under health requirements.
