Advancing mental health through clinical research

Working to improve mental health care for everyone.

Evidence-based care at scale

With more than 15 million members, Lyra can evaluate new approaches to mental health care at scale. We can prove the effectiveness of treatments for historically underrepresented groups, such as people from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, to help promote care equity.
