For employers
The all-in mental health subscription for SMEs
MentalCareDirect™ is one subscription with two sides: the YourOptimalYou™ prevention programme and YourWorkplacePsychologist for primary mental healthcare. For your employees, and optionally for their household.
Core is the package for your employees: prevention, coaching and treatment, without a waiting list. Family is the add-on that gives rapid help to their current partner and minor children — including youth-care waiting-list bridging.
No individual sessions, no tiers, no surprises. Just direct care that prevents small signals from becoming big problems.
Quick answer
What does MentalCareDirect™ deliver for an employer?
You prevent and shorten absence: employees get a psychologist immediately, without a waiting list, and preventive measurements flag risk before absence occurs. Absence costs roughly € 400 per day per employee; presenteeism costs another 10 to 15% of productivity.
- Core (€ 57,85 p/m per employee) can be taken out individually or selectively, e.g. for part of your team.
- Family (+ € 41,75 p/m) also covers problems at home — the biggest source of mental strain.
- No waiting list, thanks to a nationwide network of psychologists and coaches.
- Free escalation at elevated risk.
- Team-level reporting is always anonymised.
Why now
Waiting is more expensive than acting
Absence caused by mental health issues is the fastest-growing form of sickness leave in the Netherlands. In smaller SME teams a single absent employee is immediately felt in continuity and in the workload for colleagues.
Less absence
Detecting and treating early prevents long-term absence. One day of absence costs an employer € 400 on average.
Available immediately
No waiting list. Employees get an intake within days — with Family the same applies to partners and minor children.
Predictable costs
Two clear rates: € 57,85 (Core) and + € 41,75 (Family) per employee per month. No surprises.
Committed employer
With Family you show you take your people and their household seriously. Strong for retention and employer brand.

MentalCareDirect™ Family
When things get stuck at home, the employee gets stuck too
Youth-care waiting times run up to 9 to 18 months. During that period we see children's symptoms worsen and the mental load on their working parents explode.
With Family you extend Core with rapid psychological help for the current partner and the minor children of employees (including adopted children).
Only want to start with part of your team (for example sales)? That is also possible.
