A high-performing workforce starts with mental health. Lyra is your partner in delivering evidence-based mental health care that transforms lives and drives business results.

Worldwide, 970 million people are living with mental health issues. The biggest hurdle isn’t treatment—it’s access. Lyra’s co-founder and CEO, David Ebersman, left his job as Meta’s chief financial officer in 2014 to tackle the problem by making it easier to find and get treatment and using technology to make it smarter, more personalized, and more effective.

Since then, more than 300 leading companies have partnered to offer Lyra’s mental health benefits to their employees, including Meta, Pinterest, and Starbucks, giving more than 13 million people access to life-changing care.

Emotional resilience, empathy and focus are foundational power skills that propel your organization. LifeXT by Mindful provides you with the tools your team needs to cultivate those skills to achieve mindfulness in the workplace. We aim to reduce burnout, strengthen leadership, and increase employee engagement by developing mindfulness-based skills rooted in science. We teach these skills and more through customizable digitally delivered programs. 

There is a growing need for mindfulness in the workplace.

LifeXT by Mindful is more effective than others because it’s based on real human relationships and experience. Our custom solution enables every employee to build resilience and manage stress. Our program generates the highest engagement and effectiveness metrics for employee well-being — our largest clients have seen so much success they’ve increased their engagements tenfold over the past three years.

• We offer one-on-one employee coaching in a scalable format.
• We produce best-in-class content from renowned mindfulness teachers and experts
• We provide pre- and post-assessment gains
• Our clients are deeply engaged: 100% of licenses are used and 90% of corporate users are actively engaged at 8 months
• We are not a replacement for Employee Assistance Programs (EAP). Rather, we work with internal coaches and complement the safety net that an EAP provides for employees

Intro to LifeXT with Co-Founder Nate Klemp, PhD

With Lyra 88% of members improve or recover. Lyra uses validated clinical measures, such as the PHQ-9 and the GAD-7, to assess symptom improvement for anxiety, depression, and other common mental health issues. Reliable clinical change is a 6-point difference on the PHQ-9 and a 4-point change on the GAD-7.

At Lyra, we use “reliable clinical improvement” to measure change, which means that an individual in treatment has improved enough on a measure of clinical symptoms that we don’t believe the change can be accounted for by normal variation in scores or measurement error.

While many companies provide mental health services via an EAP, EAP utilization averages below 10%. Additionally, EAPs are typically used to address urgent and severe mental health issues, rather than working from a position of preventative care. LifeXT helps employees to build resilience to stress and increase productivity and engagement, before issues become severe. As measured by our scientifically validated Human Performance Assessment, participants experienced a 32% increase in sleep quality, 24% increase in energy levels, 23% improvement in emotional health, 19% increase in resilience to stress and 24% increase in wellbeing. Clients have recorded significant increases in productivity, decreases in turnover and decreases in absenteeism - all factors used to calculate an estimated ROI. Among six recent clients, the return on investment has ranged between 4x and 44x, with an average ROI of about 18x the investment. The 450 people enrolled in the organization with the largest ROI demonstrated a $1.6 million return in a single year.

The market is packed with mindfulness and meditation apps that employers can purchase or subsidize for their employees. However, for most of them, utilization after the first month is only around 7%. LifeXT boasts a utilization rate of 83%, along with 79% desire to continue the program, and a 41% increase in retention. This incredible utilization is driven by customized, interactive sessions with a human coach.
