I am not the type of person that would ever go out of my way to book a therapist. I won't even go to a doctor unless it is life-threatening. Such things require a lot of planning and fuss and I have better things to do. (Yes yes I know that is unreasonable/unhealthy thinking, but I am who I am).
That said, if I was having a stressful week, and a neutral party was just down the hall I knew was paid to be there for me to vent at and get advice from with no strings attached... That is something I could see myself taking a break to walk over and take advantage of.
I mean, companies provide all kinds of junk food snacks for employees to take advantage of a few feet away, why not healthy things too? There is a significantly better chance of me visiting a company provided health professional of any kind, than bothering to take time off work/life seek one out myself. I am sure I am not alone in this thinking.
I hope more companies follow the example of Ribot on this and the stigma starts to go away. Good going guys.
