Global Expansion of Calm Health Initiated: United Kingdom and Canada as First Destinations
Calm Health, a leading mental health company, is set to expand its evidence-based app internationally, starting with the UK and Canada from June 2025. This strategic move aims to meet the growing demand for accessible, scalable, and engaging mental health support in these regions.
The decision to expand into the UK and Canada marks a significant step for Calm Health, as these countries represent mature health tech markets with a high demand for digital mental health tools. Calm's digital platform offers meditation, sleep, and relaxation resources in seven languages and is currently available in over 190 countries, indicating the company's infrastructure readiness to serve global users.
Calm Health operates on a freemium model, offering a $15/month or $70/year premium subscription and a lifetime subscription option. This pricing structure makes premium mental health tools accessible to a broad user base, while free content supports users who may not subscribe. The company also serves corporate sectors through Calm for Business, helping improve employee mental fitness and resilience.
The expansion into the UK and Canada comes at a time when demand for mental health support is on the rise. In Canada, for instance, many people face barriers such as cost and limited availability of services. Calm Health provides a personalized consumer experience, including in-app mental health screenings, user inputs on physical health conditions, and life experiences, making it an attractive option for those seeking mental health support.
Calm Health's expansion also aligns with the growing global market for mindfulness apps, which is expected to grow from a $1–2 billion valuation to an expected $8 billion by the early 2030s. By entering these markets, Calm Health increases accessibility to digital mental health resources, potentially lowering barriers to care such as geographic and cost constraints.
As Calm Health partners with healthcare providers and corporations worldwide, its expansion supports integrating digital mental health solutions into various healthcare and workplace contexts in the UK and Canada. This could lead to improved mental health outreach and support in these countries.
In the U.S., Calm Health has shown measurable impact, with 77% of users completing a mental health screening, a key driver of early intervention. Calm members are also twice as likely to engage in outpatient mental health care when needed compared to baseline groups.
For multinational employers, Calm Health's expansion allows for a single, unified solution for mental health support, streamlining support for global workforces. Calm Health is also designed to meet the needs of diverse populations and complies with applicable data privacy laws in the UK and Canada, ensuring user data privacy and security.
Calm Health is currently available to over 17 million people in the U.S. through employers, health plans, and providers. The company plans to expand to additional international markets later this year.
