Peer Support for Employees
Stress, Depression, Isolation, Addiction. These are some of the Mental and Behavioral Health challenges that 20% of the workforce may experience during their lifetime. We provide cost-effective online peer support for Employers, EAPs, and Benefit Providers that want to lower their health care costs, help their clients, employees and their families better cope with these challenges, and get employees back to full productivity and minimize absenteeism.
We provide secure online peer support and coaching for employees with robust tools for employers, EAPs, and Benefit Providers
Many employees suffer in silence when they are experiencing personal problems.
This contributes to "presenteeism", lost productivity, and higher health care costs. Peer support is a proven complement to traditional therapy and counseling because it is less costly, drives similar outcomes, and decreases the wait times to get help that have become the norm from the shortage of mental health clinicians.
Our platform provides personalized help by matching individuals with a certified or licensed peer coach and appropriate content. Our trained Peer Supporters are individuals who have recovered from dealing with a similar problem and have the skills to move your employees forward.
HeyPeers provide personalized online peer support. We match employee needs, such as anxiety, with trained peer supporters and coaches who have similar life experiences. Our peer supporters and coaches use evidence-based content and programs to ensure that we deliver high quality support to employees.
We have also built a portfolio of tools to help Employers, EAPs, and administrators onboard, monitor and track population wellness and participation data and analytics.

Why offer HeyPeers?
Workplace mental health is a growing challenge. However, there is no single solution, and employers are beginning to recognize the value of providing high quality peer support for their employees as a tool alongside providing a limited number of sessions from a therapist through your EAP or benefits provider.
HeyPeers curates trained and certified peer supporters so that your employees can be matched with the best support resources available (qualifications, type of support expertise) and have access to ongoing emotional, social, and mental health support.
We believe Employers should be able to provide their employees with low cost mental health options that are effective and easily accessible.
We do that by providing turnkey solutions for group peer support and 1on1 peer coaching that is staffed by Trained Peer Supporters.
The proven support is delivered through our robust heypeers platform that makes it easy for case managers.
