From anxiety and burnout to parenting, money and sleep, October runs live, audio-only sessions hosted by psychologists, coaches, athletes and peers more than twenty hours a day. Join anonymously, listen on your commute, ask a question or just be in the room. Missed it? Every session lives on as a recording or podcast.
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.
Who sessions are for
A wellbeing webinar at 13:00 on a Wednesday reaches the people who were free at 13:00 on a Wednesday. Live sessions are built for everyone else.
Night shifts, depots, stores, people on the road.
“Half our people are asleep or on the floor when the wellbeing talk is on.”
Sessions run for more than twenty hours a day and are audio-first, so people listen on a break, in the cab or on the commute. Recordings cover the rest.
Grief, debt, a drinking habit they’re starting to worry about.
“I want to hear how other people cope without anyone knowing I’m there.”
Join with an avatar instead of a name, just listen, or ask in the chat. Raise your hand only if you want to speak, and the host brings you in.
A restructure, a site closure, year-end pressure.
“We need support on this exact thing, for our people, this month.”
Closed company sessions on the topics you brief, hosted by October experts, recorded to your company hub. Only your people can join, and it is still anonymous.
A budget review coming, and only a utilisation number to show.
“I can’t tell which topics actually matter to our people.”
Topic demand and attendance counts by team, site and tenure in October Insights, above a minimum group size. Never who attended.

Inside live sessions
Psychologists, counsellors, coaches, medical professionals, athletes and trained peers host sessions all day. People choose how much of themselves to bring.
Find the room
See what is live now and what is coming up. Filter by topic, time slot, host or session type, and set a reminder that lands in your calendar. Featured sessions follow the topics you care about.
In the room
Sessions are audio-first. Listen with the screen off or float the session while you use other apps. Ask in the chat, answer the host’s poll, or raise your hand and wait to be invited to speak. A recap captures the key moments as the session runs.

What makes switching off hardest?
On demand
Sessions live on as recordings, beside a growing podcast library. Night shift, school run, a week of back-to-backs: people catch up when their day allows. Company sessions stay private to your organisation.
The signal
October Insights shows how many people joined and which topics are rising, by team, site and tenure, so the wellbeing team knows where to focus. Segments below the minimum group size stay hidden.
A closed session in a restructure
An illustrative example: a 1,200-person logistics company announces changes to its depot network.
Briefs a closed session with their customer success manager: change and uncertainty, for depot teams and their managers.
Schedules it for 06:00 Wednesday, at shift handover, and features it in the company hub.
Listens in the cab before the shift starts, as an avatar. Asks in the chat how to talk to family about it.
An October psychologist answers the question, runs a quick poll and reminds people the EAP is there for one-to-one support.
Picks up the recording in the hub on the way home.
Sees the attendance count, and financial stress rising in topic demand. Plans a follow-up session. No names involved.
Change and uncertainty: what happens next
Wednesday · 06:00 · 45 min · Hosted by an October psychologist
Leaders see how many joined. Never who.
There is a room open right now. Nobody needs to know you’re in it.
How it works
Every employee can join live sessions and the podcast library from day one, on mobile, web and desktop.
Tell your customer success manager what your people are facing. October runs closed sessions on it and records them to your hub.
Watch session joins and topic demand in Insights, and plan the next session or campaign around it.
Safe rooms
People join with an avatar, no camera and no name. Employers see attendance counts and topics, never who attended.
The one exception: when an employer makes a learning session mandatory, attendance is confirmed by work email. Nothing else is shared.
Every host is vetted by October and sessions follow community guidelines. Hosts decide who speaks, and every session can be rated.
Sessions are set for adults, adolescents or both, so dependants aged 16 and over see the right rooms.
Connected support
Closed sessions and recordings for your organisation live in your hub.
ExploreLuna recommends the session that matches what you are working through.
ExploreWhen a session stirs something up, your EAP is one tap away.
ExploreTopic demand becomes an early signal for the wellbeing team.
ExploreWhenever 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.
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.
Every session is recorded. Podcasts, including October’s Pressure Point, sit beside them. Search by keyword, follow a topic, and build a listening habit around your own week.
These features live in the same private app and contribute to wellbeing reports across groups, without identifying individuals.
Browse what is live now and up next, see who is hosting and how many people are in, and join with one tap. Sessions are audio-only so you can listen while you work, cook or commute, and anonymous so you never have to be seen.
Here is exactly what stays with the person inside Sessions & podcasts, and what the organisation gets back: de-identified, above a minimum group size, and never a name.
How October keeps the promiseSessions & podcasts stands on its own. Connect it with the modules below and the person gets more support, the organisation a clearer view of wellbeing trends, and neither one gives up any privacy.
