Insights-driven, proactive support for social
determinants of health sets a new industry standard
Lyra Health, the leading provider of Workforce Mental Health
solutions for employers, today announced an innovative way to
proactively identify and mitigate social determinants of health
that may affect a member's overall well-being, and to connect
members to individualized resources.
Addressing unmet needs that impact mental well-being
Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. experience at least one
unmet social need, such as food scarcity, inadequate housing and
caregiving challenges. Conventional methods of addressing social
determinants of health that impact mental health often require
individuals to seek out resources on their own. To reduce the
burden on those in need, Lyra is investing in proactive,
insights-driven outreach by Resource Coordinators to address
member’s unique circumstances, including:
- Assessing social care needs: A new well-being assessment
as part of Lyra’s core platform will screen for social determinants
of health such as social connection, physical health, financial
stressors and caregiving challenges. Based on the assessment,
members will receive personalized recommendations for relevant Lyra
mental health care and well-being resources such as working with a
Lyra Resource Coordinator.
- Dedicated support from start to finish: Lyra Resource
Coordinators are trained to offer members personalized and
compassionate support on topics including financial worries, food
or housing insecurity, caregiving needs, and social inclusion.
Based on individual member needs, Resource Coordinators will
provide referrals for local and national resources,
employer-sponsored benefits, and additional Lyra resources as well
as assistance with next steps.
- Proactive, insights-driven outreach: Using third-party
insights to identify communities with health equity needs, Resource
Coordinators are able to proactively offer support and determine
the most effective personalized plan, ensuring equal access to
mental health support for all.
“Celebrating the various lived experiences of every Associate is
core to our company’s DNA, and we put special emphasis on
understanding how personal circumstances may impact not only the
way they live, but also their ability to bring their full selves to
work,” said Johanna Baldwin, Director, Associate Health &
Well-being at VCA. “We've seen tremendous value in supporting our
people with Lyra's care solutions and look forward to empowering
our Associates with every available resource to improve their
physical, emotional, and mental well-being."
“As the only mental health provider to demonstrate equitable
mental health outcomes across race and ethnicity, we’re furthering
our commitment to health equity by accessing and connecting members
to relevant resources for unmet essential needs,” said Dr. Connie
Chen, chief operating officer, Lyra Health. “Rather than requiring
the members in need to seek out resources on their own, Lyra is
combining insights with proactive support from Resource
Coordinators to serve as a bridge for members experiencing social
challenges that may impact their mental health. Our trained and
compassionate team will provide individualized support for housing,
financial, and food-related needs, referrals to legal resources, or
even assistance completing applications for social assistance
programs across languages.”
