Create a better, happier, more productive workplace.
With Mindboost.
Focusing on mental health is good for business.
Mental health issues hurt employees and businesses. These conditions are linked to increased absenteeism and damage to morale, productivity, and profits, as well as an increase in healthcare costs on the employer end.
Approximately 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year. Mental illness and substance abuse cost U.S. businesses $210 billion a year in absenteeism, reduced productivity, and medical costs. Depression is estimated to count for 400 million lost work days annually.
Not only is improving access to care the right thing for your employees. It’s the right thing for your business.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), for every $1 spent on treatment for common mental disorders, there is a return of $4 in improved health and productivity.
Today's corporate wellness programs tend to focus on helping employees improve their physical health due to incentives such as lowering healthcare premiums, reducing co-pays, and improving employee wellbeing. Mental health and emotional wellness deserve equal attention, especially when considering the costs associated with poor mental and emotional health.
Having a mental-wellbeing program can:
- Increase productivity
- Decrease absenteeism
- Decrease job abandonment
- Decrease turnover
“Employees who believe that management is concerned about them as a whole person—not just as an employee—are more productive, more satisfied, and more fulfilled.”
-Anne Mulcahy
Mindboost is here to help.
Mindboost uses Mindy, an evidence-based artificial intelligence chatbot. Over 8 million people have paid access to Mindboost. Mindy provides emotional support through automated chat conversations with people, through text messaging or HIPAA and GDPR-compliant instant messaging apps.

Mindboost aims to provide mental health coping skills, foster emotional wellbeing and resilience, provide education, and connect users with resources.
