Currently businesses spend a lot on employee assistance which provides counselling for workers who are in a crisis. On the flip side many employees don’t use the counselling programs because they don’t want to admit there is a problem until it’s too late. That’s a problem for business because one worker with depression will take four sick days an month. We are solving both those problems by using online technologies to provide easy access to treatment and reduce the cost of treatment by half. Uprise provides a quick mental health check and brief skills training for anyone that needs help. The skills are best-practice approaches that you’d get from a clinical psychologist. Anyone with early warning signs is offered a psych skills course and people who are in crisis are linked in with immediate counselling. Uprise catches people early and offers them easy to access assistance and so that fewer workers show up at crisis point for expensive counselling programs.
