Lyra Health, the leading provider of innovative Workforce Mental Health solutions for employers, announced Workforce Transformation, a suite of offerings designed specifically to help organizations proactively build a culture of mental wellness and foster psychological safety.

This is a major milestone for Lyra as it expands its services beyond the needs of individuals to address the full scope of mental health needs throughout the workforce.

“For far too long, organizational mental health support has focused on workplace perks and short-term fixes,” said Dr. Joe Grasso, Lyra Health’s senior director of workforce transformation. “By introducing organizational solutions that identify areas of need, upskill managers, reduce stigma, and empower employees to prioritize their wellness over the long term, company leadership can create a culture of mental well-being and make a significant and lasting impact on their people and organizations.”
