When you have a physical screening at work, you expect to discuss your blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, or maybe get a blood test. But how often do you talk about your mental health during these health checks? For most people, the answer is rarely or never.
Even though our mental health impacts every part of our lives — from our relationships to our physical health — it is still often overlooked in routine healthcare.
It’s Time to Normalise Workplace Mental Health Screening
More workplaces are starting to include mental health assessments alongside physical screenings. These assessments work much like visits to a primary care doctor: they identify challenges and help employees access support.
Mental health screenings can highlight if an employee would benefit from counselling or the expertise of a psychologist or other specialist.
Today’s employees want integrated care, where mental health is considered as part of overall wellbeing — not in isolation.
What Happens in a Mental Health Check?
If a “mental health check” sounds unfamiliar, here’s what it usually involves:
- Employees complete confidential self-assessments.
- Responses are analysed by doctoral-level psychologists and licensed clinicians.
- Each employee receives a personalised report with tailored recommendations and self-referral pathways.
- Employees gain access — both in-person and virtually — to BetterCare’s accredited psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists.
The process is simple, private, and can be completed in a short session — yet it can make a lifelong difference.
Insights for Employers
Employers receive an anonymised, aggregate report that identifies key trends, potential risks, and suggested next steps for the organisation.
