Mental Health Connect is a game-changing resource created to make mental health care easier to access and simpler to navigate. Offered exclusively to Austin Benefits Group clients, this program helps individuals connect with mental health providers that match their needs and are covered by their insurance—privately, compassionately, and without the usual roadblocks.
For employers, it brings meaningful tools to support workplace well-being and boost team resilience with mental health solutions that actually fit. The process is smooth, the support is real, and the difference it’s making across organizations is powerful. When mental health care feels out of reach, Mental Health Connect brings it closer.
Why We Created the Ultimate Employee Assistance Program
Mental health should never be treated as an add-on—it should be foundational. That’s why Austin Benefits Group joined forces with River’s Bend, PC to launch Mental Health Connect, a groundbreaking EAP that puts fast, stigma-free access to care within reach for employees and their families.
This program goes far beyond traditional offerings. With personalized support, real-time access to providers, and tools that strengthen retention, Mental Health Connect helps organizations create a culture where people feel valued, supported, and equipped to grow. Leading with care isn’t optional—it’s the future. Your team deserves it.
How Mental Health Challenges Impact Workplace Cultures
Mental health in the workplace doesn’t start with benefits—it starts with culture. The day-to-day experience of your team shapes how they show up, connect, and contribute, which makes culture a powerful lever for supporting both physical and mental well-being.
A healthy workplace goes beyond offering support when challenges arise; it actively creates the conditions that help people stay well. That means addressing the deeper issues that lead to stress, burnout, or disengagement, like a lack of autonomy, unclear communication, or inequitable policies.
From leadership behaviors to workload expectations, every element of the employee experience plays a role. We’re here to help you take a more thoughtful approach with solutions that protect your people, support a positive work environment, and foster a culture where employees can truly thrive.
