An Apple A Day… Your Guide To Preventative Mental Health Support 🍏

If you’ve worked in HR for a while, chances are you’ve seen mental health issues in the workplace.

Maybe it’s a colleague really struggling with stress. Maybe it’s anxiety. Maybe you’ve even seen members of your team written off work — or, in the worst case, leaving their job — because of burnout.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to help them? To step in before issues build to a crisis?

In our latest whitepaper, we found out some amazing news: you can. Written by Katharina Koch, PhD , our Head of Psychology, our latest whitepaper had some surprising revelations about the power of preventative mental health support.

Here’s your sneak preview of what to find in it!

Surprising New Insights into Preventative Mental Health Support

The importance of preventative mental health support is one of the most powerful takeaways from our whitepaper.

Mental health is a spectrum. Some days (or weeks, or months) we feel strong and good. Other times, we’re really struggling. Mental health illnesses or major life events can also trigger changes in our baseline. 

But the results of our whitepaper showed that people who have moderate symptoms (i.e. are generally feeling okay, with occasional mental health issues like anxiety or trouble sleeping) improve hugely when they use nilo.health.

This means that mental health support helps you solve problems as they arise, before they become a crisis. It helps you avoid manifesting symptoms or developing unhealthy patterns.

What Does This Mean for Workplaces?

It proves that workplaces can act and support their employees early on by providing access to early interventions and preventative care. 

It means that as a HR leader, by offering preventative mental health support you won’t always just be responding to crisis, but instead building a strong, resilient workforce.

What Else Did The Whitepaper Reveal?

We’re thrilled to share that the whitepaper had a lot of great results for nilo users. For both people with moderate and severe mental health symptoms, the data showed improvements in mental health and well-being. Anxiety and depression decreased. And there were also improvements across a range of areas, including:

• 67.36% of nilo.health users said their moods improved
• 53.3% said their sleep improved
• 69.1% said their relaxation levels improved
• 51.5% said their motivation improved
• 60.9% said their energy levels improved
