Your people are struggling quietly. Your EAP is silent.

Burnout, anxiety and disengagement are at record levels, and the legacy EAP reaches a few percent of people, almost all of them already in crisis. October Health gives the whole workforce care they use every day, gives you the signal by team, and puts clinicians and embedded experts beside your managers. Wellbeing becomes something you can measure and move.

The state of the marketWhy programmes fail

Record pressure.
Single-digit reach.

Four reasons workplace mental health programmes stall, and what each one costs.

01

The EAP nobody calls

A phone number on a poster, used by 3 to 5% of people, almost all of them already in crisis. Prevention never happens because nothing reaches people before the breaking point.

  • 3–5% utilisation
  • Crisis only
02

Stigma and friction

Booking through HR, waiting weeks, explaining yourself twice. Every step loses people, and the ones who most need help are the least likely to push through.

  • Weeks to first session
  • HR in the loop
03

Managers on the front line

Managers absorb their team's stress with no training, no signal and no playbook. They burn out, and their teams follow them out.

  • No manager playbook
  • Pressure with no plan
04

No proof it worked

Utilisation counts and webinar attendance are not outcomes. Without burnout, eNPS and retention measured before and after, the budget is the first thing cut.

  • Activity, not outcomes
  • Budget at risk
How October Health smashes itCare · signal · experts

Care they use.
Proof you can show.

Everyday support the whole organisation reaches for, with the signal and the experts to turn it into outcomes.

01

Everyday care in every pocket

Live sessions with clinicians, coaching, Luna the AI companion, sleep, focus and meditation tools, and up to three dependants. All in the app, private by default, no HR in the loop.

  • Clinicians + AI companion
  • Dependants included
02

Signal by team

Pulse, ThriveMeter and the Wellbeing Index show where pressure is building by team and tenure, de-identified and benchmarked, with next-best actions instead of another dashboard.

  • Pulse + Wellbeing Index
  • Next best action
03

Managers enabled

Team-level insight, playbooks and embedded experts who train and support managers, so the people carrying the team's stress can spot risk early and respond well.

  • Manager training
  • Embedded experts
04

Outcomes, measured

Burnout, eNPS, retention and absence tracked before and after, by team, and translated into a costed annual value you can take to the board.

October Health for mental wellbeing · FAQ5 answers

Questions,
answered.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Sessions, conversations with Luna and personal data are private to the individual. Leaders only ever see de-identified, aggregated signal with minimum group sizes enforced, so nobody can be singled out.

Are the sessions with real clinicians?

Yes. Live sessions are with licensed clinicians and coaches, alongside Luna, the AI companion, for everyday support between sessions. Company sessions, recordings and podcasts sit beside them.

Can it replace our EAP?

Most customers replace the EAP outright. October covers the crisis pathway and everything before it, which is why utilisation lands around 65% rather than a few percent.

How fast can we launch?

Rollout is weeks, not quarters. Embedded experts run onboarding with you, and most teams see their first usable insight within about eight weeks of launch.

Does it work with October People?

Yes. Health signal stays private, but it feeds the same intelligence layer as the HR record, so a team under pressure shows up beside the leave, performance and workload context that explains it.
