> Most mental health solutions offered in the workplace are either employee assistance programs (EAPs), which offer short-term counseling or phone access to a helpline, or preventative tech solutions, like mindfulness apps. These low-touch solutions have minimal engagement. These are all I've seen at the places I've worked, and I have never heard of anybody actually using them (although I'm sure many who do simply never mention it). I don't use them on two counts: I think they're without value, and they feel too much like my employer further encroaching on my life. My employer already directs more than a third of it. I jealously guard the rest.
