Mental health services should start with connected care
Mental health shouldn't be a separate system to navigate—it should be part of the care your people already trust. High-quality, connected care means earlier intervention, fewer crises, and real ROI.

Mental healthcare built around your people, not the system
Fast, flexible, affordable access
With shorter wait times, unlimited visits, and little-to-no cost, employees and members get care when they need it, where they need it—in-person, virtual, or by phone. It’s care that fits their life.
Proactive care, not reactive crises
Trusted relationships and proactive screenings move care upstream, to catch risk early, drive long-term engagement, and keep a moment of stress from becoming a leave of absence.
Quality you can measure
The next frontier in mental health benefits for employees isn't access. It's evidence-based treatment at the right time. Our value-based approach ties clinical care directly to outcomes.
Up to 75% of primary care visits include a mental health need
Shared records and collaboration mean mental and physical health are never treated in silos.
Care teams spot risks before they surface—and act on them together.
Primary care handles medication management, reducing costly specialist referrals.
Medical, occupational, and biopsychosocial context shapes every treatment plan.
Warm handoffs mean members never have to start over.
Integrated mental health services across the full spectrum of care
Individual, couples, and family therapy are available, delivered by licensed clinicians. Pediatric care is available for members ages 12 and up.
Whether for anxiety and depression, stress, burnout, grief, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, substance misuse, or crisis support, our mental health services for employers meet members wherever they are.
We remove barriers to access, with in-person, virtual, and digital care with same- or next-day availability, no visit limits, and little to no cost.
Evidence-based screenings are integrated into primary care visits, to help surface early-stage issues while there's still time to intervene.
Workplace programs, Mental Health First Aid training, and manager education make seeking support normal and create a culture where mental health is part of everyday well-being.
Structured supervision, regular case reviews, clinical skill feedback, and transparent outcomes reporting ensure evidence-based care and measurable impact.
When mental health is integrated, everyone feels better

There are lots of wins with the services that we have with Marathon Health, but probably the most impactful ones are with mental health. We were able to identify employees who had suicidal ideations, prevent them from taking action, and get them connected to mental health services. You can't put a price on that.

Time is such a valuable commodity. If I don't have to take a half-day away from my kids in the classroom to go to my behavioral health appointment and wellness exam, that's a giant benefit to the district and to the employees.
