As the need for better mental health support in the workplace grows significantly and talent retention focuses on expanded wellness benefits, alternatives to traditional EAPs are necessary to help increase access to mental health care.
As noted in a recent study, digital mental health apps, specifically Counslr, may have a positive impact on improving access to mental health services. In fact, the research found that the majority of users accessed Counslr through on-demand sessions underscoring the value of real-time, immediate support for users seeking in-the-moment support.
Additionally, over 80% of the sessions occurred between 7 PM and 5 AM, highlighting Counslr’s ability to provide accessible mental health support during hours when conventional services are typically unavailable; and users accessed the app for a variety of mental health concerns, demonstrating the promise of a text-based app to connect users with licensed counselors across mental health concerns in both on-demand sessions and scheduled sessions, 24-hours a day.
“As the primary architects of workplace culture and benefit strategies, HR professionals play a critical role in shaping the future of work and this partnership ensures they have the mental health resources they need to thrive while supporting others,” said Josh Liss, CEO of Counslr. Adding that, “By equipping the very individuals responsible for shaping workplace culture with accessible mental health solutions, together with Hacking HR, we aim to spark a meaningful shift toward healthier, more supportive work environments across industries.”
