Why it mattersIndustry EAP utilisation benchmarks
3–5%of employees ever use a traditional EAP

Support that requires a phone call and a crisis gets used by almost nobody. A room you can walk into anonymously, at lunch, on any topic, gets used by most of the company.

Whenever someone needs it, a live expert session is running. The schedule follows the day: focus and parenting in the morning, money and stress at lunch, leadership in the afternoon, burnout and relationships in the evening, sleep at night. Miss one, and it is in the library by the time you look.

What it replaces

The phone number nobody calls.

A traditional EAP is a hotline used by 3 to 5% of people, in crisis. A live session on the exact thing keeping you up, that you can join from the car, gets used by most of the company.

Sessions & podcasts · FAQ3 answers

Questions,
answered.

Who hosts the sessions?

Registered psychologists, counsellors, coaches, medical professionals, athletes and trained peers. Every host is vetted by October and every session follows community guidelines.

Can people see that I joined?

No. Sessions are anonymous by default. You can ask questions without revealing who you are, and your employer never sees attendance by person.

What if I cannot make a live session?

Every session is recorded and available on demand, alongside a podcast library you can listen to any time.
