Case Study: McCarthy Building Companies improves access to mental health care for employees and families with Lyra Health

McCarthy Building Companies cuts mental health wait time to 2 days with Lyra Health

McCarthy Building Companies, a construction firm, faced a significant challenge in providing timely mental health care for its employees and their families, with wait times for therapy often stretching to four to six months. This was a critical issue given the construction industry's high suicide rates. To address this, the company partnered with vendor Lyra Health to implement its mental health benefit service, seeking a solution that could provide faster access to care.

Lyra Health's solution dramatically reduced the average wait time for a first appointment to just two days and instantly matched 98% of employees and their families with a provider. The results were substantial, with more employees and family members accessing care in the first three months with Lyra than in the entire previous year with their former program. Lyra also proved to be a flexible partner, providing crucial early support to employees following a serious jobsite incident and helping McCarthy build a stronger culture of wellness.
