What happens in a crisis?
A hotline number is not sufficient. We define escalation steps: what triggers an alert, who is notified, what actions are taken, and within what timeframe.
01
Automated In App Escalation
When responses cross a risk threshold, the Clinical Team is alerted in real time to a designated crisis counselor on the platform, not to the employer.
02
Live Chat 24/7
Licensed crisis counselor available around the clock. Many people in distress will text but not call. Embedded directly in the platform.
03
Warm Handoff to 988
Platform counselor connects with the user, then bridges them to 988 or local emergency services, staying on the line during the handoff.
04
Scheduled Safety Check Ins
After a high risk response, automatic check ins within 24 to 48 hours via counselor, chatbot, or push notification with escalation if no response.
If an employee indicates immediate risk of harm:
The platform may temporarily pause anonymity only to connect urgent clinical or crisis support. Employers can choose not to be notified and refer directly to mental health professionals.
Privacy First
Why is confidentiality the gating requirement?
If employees perceive this as a tool that gives HR or management visibility into their mental health, adoption will fail. True confidentiality must be demonstrable, not just claimed. Read our privacy policy for full details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can employers see individual employee data or identities?
No. Employers receive only anonymized, aggregated insights. No names, messages, scores, or identifiers are accessible.
What if we do not want to see employee results?
Employers can opt to not see any data and simply let employees use it for self assessment with direct referral to mental health professionals.
What happens if an employee reports self harm or harm to others?
The platform follows a clinically governed escalation protocol managed by the vendor, not the employer. Imminent risk triggers immediate crisis support. Anonymity may be paused only to connect emergency resources. Employers are not notified of individuals.
Are we responsible if an employee discloses substance use?
No. Individual disclosures remain confidential unless there is imminent risk. The platform is not a monitoring or compliance tool.
Does this create a duty to act for HR or managers?
No. The vendor assumes responsibility for clinical risk triage and response.
What data do employers receive?
Depression, Anxiety, Sleep, Alcohol Abuse, Substance Abuse, PTSD, and Workplace Satisfaction trends. No individual level or actionable surveillance data is provided.
Is this a replacement for our EAP?
No. It is an employee first access layer that complements existing benefits and improves engagement.
How do we get started?
Upload your employee roster using a CSV file or manually. Choose which assessments to engage, over what time period, and frequency. Employers can opt to view data or not.
My company is too small for department divisions. Can we still use it?
Yes. The software only assigns divisional departments if there are a minimum of 25 employees per department. Otherwise, employees are grouped together as one unit.
