Quantifying the value of reaching the traditionally unreachable

Most organizations underestimate the hidden costs of untreated mental health challenges. Silent sufferers—those who never raise their hand for support—often let small issues grow until they become costly crises.
Counslr changes that.

By offering discreet, text-based access to licensed counselors 24/7, we help these individuals address everyday stressors early—before they escalate into absenteeism, turnover, or long-term treatment.

Use our ROI calculator to see how much your organization currently spends on mental health–related costs—and how much you could save by intervening earlier with Counslr.

Still have questions about Counslr For Organizations?

What is Counslr and how does it support employee mental health at work?

Counslr is an employer-sponsored employee mental health platform that gives your workforce unlimited access to live, text-based support. Employees can start a session on demand or schedule a time that works for them, with nationwide availability 24/7/365 and an average initial response time under two minutes. For decision makers, Counslr helps extend reach, increase utilization, and provide care coordination when a higher level of care is appropriate.

How is Counslr different from an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?

Counslr is built to remove the friction that keeps EAP utilization low. Employees can start support immediately through secure messaging, without limited hours or appointment delays. For employers, that means stronger engagement and a modern layer of workplace mental health support that can complement an existing EAP by filling access gaps and supporting early intervention.

Which organizations are a strong fit for Counslr?

Counslr supports employers across industries, including small and mid-sized businesses, enterprise teams, unions, nonprofits, and trade groups. It is especially effective for organizations looking for scalable, confidential support that employees will actually use, including teams that have historically been hard to reach through traditional mental health benefits.

Can Counslr integrate with our existing wellness and benefits stack?

Yes. Counslr fits alongside your current wellness programs, EAP, and clinical coverage. It integrates into your benefits stack as a discreet, always available option for employees who prefer private, text-based support, especially during off-hours or high-stress moments.

Is Counslr secure and HIPAA compliant for workplace use?

Yes. Counslr is HIPAA compliant and designed for confidential, encrypted messaging. The text-based format also supports a quasi-anonymous experience, which can reduce stigma and encourage more employees to use the benefit.

What ROI can organizations expect from Counslr?

ROI varies by workforce size, industry, and existing benefit utilization. Counslr helps you estimate potential impact on turnover risk, absenteeism, and productivity by driving higher utilization and supporting earlier intervention before concerns escalate.

How does the Counslr ROI Calculator work, and what does it estimate?

The Counslr ROI Calculator helps organizational leaders estimate the potential financial impact of offering workplace mental health support through Counslr. You enter a few basics, like the number of employees, your estimated healthcare contribution, and your state, and the calculator generates projected savings across key business areas such as turnover, lost time, and healthcare-related costs. Results are directional estimates, not guarantees, and are designed to support planning and internal discussions. For the most accurate view, use numbers that reflect your current workforce size and benefits spend, then request a demo to review assumptions and see how Counslr fits into your existing benefits stack.

What does the WHO recommend for mental health at work?

WHO guidance emphasizes prevention and early action through organizational interventions, manager training, mental health literacy, and clear support pathways such as return to work planning and reasonable accommodations. The goal is to promote well-being, reduce risk, and help employees participate and thrive at work.

What types of issues can I talk about on Counslr?

Counslr is designed to support everyday mental and emotional challenges, including work stress, burnout, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and feeling overwhelmed. You don’t need to be in crisis or have a diagnosis to start a conversation, Counslr is there for support at any stage.

Does Counslr offer clinical therapy, diagnosis, or treatment?

No. Counslr does not provide clinical therapy, diagnosis, or treatment. It provides non-clinical mental health support that helps employees navigate stress, burnout, relationship strain, and day-to-day challenges. When someone needs more intensive care, Counslr supports the next steps through referral guidance and escalation pathways.

Do I need my manager or HR to approve my use of Counslr?

No. Counslr is a confidential benefit you can access directly, without notifying your manager or HR. Your conversations remain private, and employers do not receive individual-level information about who uses the service or what is discussed.

How quickly can employees connect with support through Counslr as an employer-sponsored benefit?

Employees typically connect in under two minutes. They can begin messaging right away or schedule a session for later. Matching is designed to align employees with a licensed mental health professional who best fits their preferences and needs.

Can I use Counslr outside of work hours or while I’m not at work?

Yes. Counslr is available 24/7/365, so you can reach out whenever support is needed, whether that’s during evenings, weekends, or in the middle of a stressful moment. You can message on demand or schedule a session at a time that works best for you.
