Long insurance waits, prior authorization delays, and benefits designed only for people already in crisis mean most employer mental health support competes with the exact friction that stops people from using it. Traditional EAP utilization sits at just 2–5%, and only 53% of employees even know how to access their mental health benefits. This post breaks down why workplace mental health support fails at the moment that matters most — and what changes when a mental wellness app is already part of an employee's daily routine before a hard season hits.
