The Next Evolution of Benefits: A Consultant’s Guide to Improved Mental Health Benefit Design

Join Lyra Health for an exclusive consultant-focused session on building integrated mental health strategies and benefit designs that actually move the needle on medical spend and workforce outcomes.

What you’ll learn

Healthcare costs are rising 9%. The standard EAP isn’t sustainable.

Your clients are heading into 2026 facing a perfect storm: rising premiums and a surge in high-acuity mental health cases driving up total claims spend. As their strategic advisor, they look to you to bring them something better than check-the-box benefits.

Join Lyra Health for an exclusive consultant-focused session on building integrated mental health strategies and benefit designs that actually move the needle on medical spend and workforce outcomes.

What we’ll cover:

  • The frictionless care case: Why removing barriers to mental health care directly reduces downstream medical spend—ER visits, cardiovascular claims, chronic pain.
  • How to demonstrate your value: We’ll help you build the story that shows clients what integrated mental health care means for their people and their bottom line.
  • Making the case to self-insured clients: Practical strategies for getting clients to move from fragmented EAPs to a fully integrated care model.
