• Therapists and Coaches: Connects people directly with licensed professionals for one-on-one help through text-based chat or video sessions.

October Health points to several statistics showing its results, including:

• Improving workplace performance by an average of 15-25% and reducing employee turnover by up to 40%.
• Reducing the economic effects of mental health-related absences, with a 4:1 return on investment.
