Workplace Mental Health
The all-in mental health subscription for companies.
MentalCareDirect™ combines the scientifically grounded YourOptimalYou™ prevention programme with YourWorkplacePsychologist for primary mental healthcare. One subscription, one continuous line, no waiting list.
And we don't wait for someone to ask. Our team schedules the first conversation itself and then gets in touch every quarter for a measurement. So we spot it earlier — often before absence occurs.
The "Core" package is the essential package for employees, covering prevention, coaching and treatment. The "Family" package is the add-on for their household — rapid help for partners and minor children.
Care that goes beyond work.
Why we do this
Behind every absence figure there is a person.
Someone lying awake at night. Someone keeping up appearances at the Friday drinks. Someone worried about a child who can't cope any more. We start with that person — not with the number. A conversation quickly, someone who truly listens, and help that continues as long as it is needed.
For employees and their household, help is free of charge and fully confidential. The employer never hears what is discussed; reporting is always anonymised.
The problem
Waiting for help makes symptoms worse.
An employee with stress, anxiety or depressive symptoms can be present at work for months while performing far below their level (presenteeism) without seeking help. And when help is finally sought, they end up on a mental healthcare waiting list. During those months symptoms worsen, productivity drops further and the risk of long-term absence grows.
For employees' children the picture is even starker: youth care has waiting times of 9 to 18 months. When a child gets stuck, the parent gets stuck too — and the employer feels it immediately.
MentalCareDirect™ solves this. With Core, your employees get direct access to the evidence-based prevention programme YourOptimalYou™ and, if needed, primary mental healthcare via YourWorkplacePsychologist. With Family, their current partner and minor children get the same direct access.

In 2023, Dutch employers paid € 8.3 billion in wage continuation for absence days caused by work-related conditions. € 4.9 billion of that was linked to psychosocial workload such as work pressure, stress and undesirable behaviour.

loss of productive workdays because employees regularly work while their health limits them. Presenteeism therefore costs dozens of productive workdays per employee, per year. Hidden costs.
