Why LeapForward, not just EAP?

Your EAP is reactive.
Your workforce needs more.

EAPs were designed for crisis response. LeapForward is designed for structured, measurable recovery — built around a daily program, human coaching, and clinical outcomes tracking.

Wherever your people are in their journey — LeapForward can help.

LeapForward is flexible enough to be used across your workforce strategy — not just as a crisis tool.

Use case 01
Prevention

Offer LeapForward as a proactive wellbeing benefit — helping your whole workforce build the psychological resilience and healthy habits that prevent mental health issues from developing in the first place.

  • Reduces risk of absenteeism before it starts
  • Builds resilience skills across the workforce
  • Addresses lifestyle factors linked to mental health: sleep, nutrition, movement, stress
  • A meaningful, structured benefit — not just an app people forget about
Use case 02
Early Intervention

When a manager notices an employee struggling — or an employee reaches out for support — LeapForward provides structured, immediate help. The right support at the right time, before absence becomes the outcome.

  • Same-day access — no waitlist, no delay
  • 6-week program addresses root causes, not just symptoms
  • Reduces the risk of short-term absence becoming long-term
  • Supports HR and managers without adding to their workload
Use case 03
Return to Work

Supporting an employee coming back after extended absence is one of the hardest parts of workforce management. LeapForward addresses the psychological barriers to return — confidence, anxiety, self-efficacy — so coming back actually sticks.

  • 81% of participants return-to-work ready at program completion
  • 57% reduction in RTW anxiety
  • Structured daily support during the transition back
  • Weekly coaching call bridges the gap between clinical and workplace

How it works

Six weeks. Daily support.
Measurable change.

A structured program combining AI coaching, daily content, and real human support — completed on any device, anywhere, in about 15 minutes a day.

01
HR or manager refers the employee

A referral takes under two minutes via a simple portal. The employee receives an email invitation and can begin the same day.

02
Daily content — 15 minutes

Short daily videos covering CBT, Lifestyle Medicine, and Positive Psychology. AI coach Lucy checks in, tracks mood, and sets daily goals.

03
Weekly telehealth call

A real allied health coach meets with the employee by telehealth each week — personalising support and reinforcing progress.

04
Outcomes measured and reported

Clinical progress tracked using K10 and WHO-5. You receive aggregate reporting so you can measure and demonstrate the impact to leadership.

What's included

Everything your team needs.
Nothing they don't.

🤖

What participants say

Real people. Real recovery.

The program has helped me restore my confidence, become more resilient and rebuild my life overall.

Johanne E

I feel so grateful that I took the step and said yes. It's just so comprehensive in all areas of what life throws at us.

Kate P

LeapForward put me in a mindset to look at things differently — because even though I'm a mental health nurse, I still struggled and saw myself as the victim when things happened.

Nicole K

I would have benefited from doing this when I first went off work. It's exactly what I needed at that time. I truly believe this program would have provided the gaps in support I experienced.
