If someone is already willing to go to an external therapist, then that's good. If not, a company therapist may be a good first start.

- DanBC 11y agoYes! I should have said that it's great that this company is thinkin about mental health and is actually doing stuff. It's really nice to see.
- VLM 11y agoI like your analysis of the situation and propose its similarity to the popular "health care fair" that large companies periodically have, where benefits providers come in to various conference rooms for a lunch hour event. They won't treat your blood pressure or cholesterol level or do an actual wellness checkup but they'll do trivial screening tests and sign you up for follow up appointments, or find you a primary care GP or whatever technical medical benefit stuff you'd like to talk about. They exclude all billing discussion probably to prevent outright riots (For non-USA people, medical billing is totally screwed up in the USA). There seems no reason not to include mental health providers as part of the existing health care fairs. Some fairs probably do include mental health care providers.
