I am very curious about this. Does anyone have personal or even second-hand stories of a mental health professional for startups? I know of plenty of companies who do things to make employees "happy" - massages, free food, high salary - but I have never heard of a company directly focused on helping each employee have a sound mind.
In my opinion, this just makes sense. Especially in a small startup, the stresses the team feels are well beyond what most employees are used to and there have been several accounts of the impact of that depression.[1] [2] Teaching employees effective strategies to deal with stress or even just to talk through and help manage other mental factors in their lives seems like a logical choice for success, but again I have never heard of it and would love to hear more.
