- Promote mental wellness and destigmatize mental health concerns.
- Provide individual psychological support through direct services to employees
- Allow employees to participate in psychoeducational training
- Allow the organization to continue building a safe and enriching environment for growth
Standard Services Offered
Individual Support through Direct Services:
Solid Minds can offer individualized counseling sessions, beginning with an initial consultation of 90 minutes and then followed by 60-minute follow-up sessions. These sessions are usually goal focused to allow the employee to make changes in their life and improve their well-being. Solid Minds offers the option of face-to-face sessions at the Solid Minds clinic, or online sessions via phone or using the technology platform that best meets the needs of the client; and will be conducted by an assigned counselor pending language preference and need.

Our counselors are skilled in facilitating reflective small groups on topics pertinent to the organization or employees. This may be an opportunity for employees to feel safe and secure in discussing difficult topics in confidential groups such as grief and loss, stress management, or to think creatively about how the culture of the organization can improve to facilitate positive mental health.
