Digital mental health company Headspace Health has acquired mental health support app Shine for an undisclosed amount.
The Shine app has 45,000 paid subscribers and guides users through self-guided mental health support modules. Shine co-CEOs Marah Lidey and Naomi Hirabayashi will join Headspace in leadership positions as part of the acquisition, according to a Sept. 8 Headspace news release.
"The acquisition of the Shine app underscores the continuing importance of infusing diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging into the fabric of everything we do," said Russell Glass, CEO of Headspace Health. "By integrating both the robust content and talented team from Shine, we'll be able to collectively scale the diversity of offerings and experiences that we can bring to our customers and members."
