Some startling new data has drifted into public view. Only 20% of employees know their company has mental health support.
Only 20%????
The real crisis is that even when people know support exists, they don't know how to take the first step to get it.
We've created a perfect storm where:
* Support exists, but nobody knows about it
* People struggle in silence
* Everyone assumes someone else will bridge the access gap
* Companies invest millions in solutions that don't get used
The traditional approach is backwards: We're building solutions without understanding how people actually reach out for help.
We offer support ✅
We announce it exists ✅
We wait for people to use it ✅
We wonder why they don't ❌
The hard truth? Having mental health support isn't enough if you don't build the bridge to reach it, on an ongoing basis. The "big launch" isn't enough. Continual context and awareness is.
That's why our approach at Leafyard feels so different and revolutionary - we place human behaviour, rollout and context as the PRIMARY problem to solve.
"It ain't what you do; it's the way that you do it", as the old song goes.
