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.

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.

Spouses' emergency representation law: What you need to know!

If a person was no longer able to make decisions about their own health due to an accident or serious illness, this often came as a nasty surprise for their spouse or partner.

Contrary to what they often thought, life partners were not automatically entitled to make decisions for their partner. The emergency spouse representation law gives spouses and civil partners the opportunity to make decisions in emergency medical situations, for example regarding medical examinations or treatments. 

In this article you will learn

  • When does the spouse's right of emergency representation apply and what options does it offer?
  • In which areas spouses will be able to make decisions in emergencies in future.
  • What limits the spouse's right of emergency representation has.
  • Why individual provision is still important.

When does the emergency spouse representation law apply and what does it include?

The "Right of emergency representation between spouses in health matters" comes into force in January 2023 .

According to this regulation, spouses can represent each other in emergency medical situations even without a living will or power of attorney and take over the healthcare of their partner who is unable to make decisions. However, this right only applies for a maximum of six months. 

If the condition has not improved after this, a legal guardian can be appointed by the guardianship court. Relatives, volunteers or full-time caregivers are usually considered for this.

In which areas will spouses be able to make decisions in future?

They can make decisions about treatments and examinations as well as decisions relating to property law that are directly connected to this (e.g. concluding treatment and care contracts). 

What are the limits of the spouse's right of emergency representation?

The new regulation expressly refers only to emergencies.

For example, spouses are only authorized to act once a doctor has confirmed their partner's incapacity in writing. In addition, the right of emergency representation only applies in direct connection with health care - but not for residential matters or the care of property.

Is the right of emergency representation mandatory?

No, it does not apply if it is contrary to the wishes of the patient. It does not apply if the patient has previously authorized another person in a health care proxy or has expressed a different will.

It also does not apply to spouses who are separated. 

What is recommended for comprehensive prevention? 

The spouse's right of emergency representation can be a great relief in acute situations. However, it does not replace the tried and tested precautionary options such as a health care proxy and living will.

On the one hand, these are not limited in time, and on the other hand, they offer considerably more freedom of design because they allow very individual arrangements for a wide variety of areas. 

An overview of spousal emergency representation law: 5 key points 

  • The emergency representation law comes into force in January 2023.
  • Spouses and registered partners can represent each other in healthcare matters.
  • The right of representation is only valid for a maximum of 6 months. 
  • A doctor must have confirmed the partner's legal incapacity.
  • Living wills and health care proxies are still recommended for comprehensive provision.
