Supporting Sandra

31% of adults reported symptoms of depression or anxiety in 2021, up from 11% in 2019; and, during the same window, calls to national mental health helplines increased by 27%. The demand for immediate support, around the clock, from experienced mental health professionals has never been higher. This story about Sandra, a single working mother in crisis, underscores the need for immediate care and support from employer-sponsored mental health programs.

Prioritizing Provider Quality Leads to Transformative Mental Health Support

When it comes to evaluating employer-sponsored mental health programs, familiar metrics like engagement, utilization rate, program satisfaction and ROI are key elements of the decision calculus for employers and their advisors. While these measurements are certainly valuable, one vital piece of the puzzle is often overlooked – provider quality.

Outcomes and Impact

Employee assistance programs (EAPs) are employer-sponsored benefits that provide employees with resources to address personal and/or work-related concerns such as depression, stress, anxiety, grief, family problems, relationship issues and alcohol or other substance abuse concerns. This case study, 'Outcomes and Impact', provides insight into the measurable impact of an EAP on employee health, wellbeing and productivity.

Although working remotely can be a lonely experience for employees there are many resources, such as Employee Assistance Programs, along with many other tools that can help an employee feel more connected, less isolated, and more fulfilled at work.
