Telebehavioral Health for Employers

Proven Approach Improves Outcomes, Boosts Productivity, and Lowers Costs

Mental health and substance abuse disorders (MH/SUD) are putting additional pressure on employers who are already struggling to keep up with the impacts of rising healthcare costs. Challenges in addressing MH/SUD include a shortage of providers (especially in rural areas), stigma that may hold employees back from seeking care, and the difficulty of fitting mental health services around work and family obligations. There is a solution, however, that is proven to be affordable and effective in reducing treatment costs and productivity losses due to behavioral health issues.
