It's national cookie month, and Microsoft Teams is shipping Oreos! Teams will get Oreo emojis, and us mere mortals get free Oreo Thins ($3.95 shipping). The limited edition Oreos have tips from Office assistant Clippy, as well as a Clippy accessory to "keep your hands milk-free while dunking Oreos". I caved - mine's on its way....

Wait... They shipped what!?

Calm launched a clinical mental health offering, Calm Health.

Backstory: In February, Calm acquired Ripple Health, a platform connecting users, their caregivers, and providers. Post-acquisition, Ripple's founder took over as CEO of Calm.

Details: Calm Health goes beyond meditation to wade into the world of clinical-grade mental health challenges. Highlights include:

• Connecting clinical teams with members, families, and caregivers

• Care plans and programs to use in between therapy sessions

• Mental health programs to address anxiety and depression

Why it matters: As meditation app sessions have fallen over 50% since the height of the pandemic, Calm is betting that B2B channels will offset declining growth in its core consumer business.

Calm Health unlocks providers as a sales channel, while beefing up Calm's enterprise offering - especially given consumers can't purchase Calm Health on their own.

The move is representative of a broader trend of mental health apps tapping the provider world to unlock sustained growth. Last year, Headspace made a similar move by merging with Ginger, a virtual behavioral health provider.
