Mindance App: pme's EAP & BGM Platform Familienservice
Mindance is the digital platform from pme Familienservice for mental health, EAP (Employee Assistance), and leadership. Mindance offers solutions for companies that want to improve the resilience and well-being of their leaders and teams. What sets it apart: the combination of digital exercises and personalized one-on-one coaching sessions with psychologists, therapists, and executive coaches. Health insurance providers and individuals also benefit.
There are many apps for mental health and prevention. Most of them consist of exercises, meditations, and journaling. But when it comes to in-depth support for psychological or health issues, many apps leave users on their own.
The Mindance app fills this gap. With more than 50 full-time coaches, users can book one-on-one sessions, online sessions, and executive coaching directly within the app. Mindance combines digital self-help, service organization, and the expertise of the EAP provider pme Familienservice into a single platform: easily accessible, so that all target groups within the company—from ages 16 to 100+—can be reached.
Individuals do not have access to one-on-one consultations, coaching sessions, or expert lectures. However, they can take advantage of exercises, prevention courses, and many other features, as well as subsidies from health insurance providers.

"While searching for an app that offers not only mindfulness, meditation, and bedtime stories, but also tips and exercises for mental strength and health, I came across Mindance. And right off the bat, I was impressed by the design. Not another app with everything in pastel colors like the other wellness apps. It has a cool, high-quality, and modern look—kudos! On top of that, I think the content is excellent. I’m a manager, a dad, and I enjoy playing sports. The app has something to offer for all these roles and situations. And my kids love the bedtime stories, too. I’m going to start exploring the app regularly now because there’s really so much to discover. Maybe I’ll update my review later."

Psychosocial Counseling & Coaching: What Mindance Can Do—and What It Can't
Mindance builds resilience, helps with stress management, and encourages the integration of health-promoting routines into daily life. The systemic, solution-focused approach of our counseling sessions helps you tap into your own resources to better cope with acute problems and crises.
Mindance can provide support with work-related and personal conflicts, parenting issues, and life crises, and can therefore be a very effective stopgap measure until a therapy program is found.
The app provides prevention and support in everyday life, but it is not a substitute for psychotherapeutic or psychiatric treatment.
Data Protection and Confidentiality
Mental health is a sensitive topic, which is why Mindance always complies with current GDPR requirements and treats user data confidentially.
Employers do not see any personally identifiable information; all analyses are anonymized and aggregated.
Details can be found in the Privacy Policy.
