Case Study: Sheppard Mullin achieves rapid, continuous access to effective mental health care with Lyra Health

Sheppard Mullin Supporting law professionals with Lyra

Sheppard Mullin, a global AmLaw 100 law firm, struggled with industry-wide stress and an ineffective EAP that couldn’t reliably connect busy attorneys to timely, ongoing mental-health care. In June 2021 the firm launched Lyra Health’s comprehensive mental health solution to replace the status-quo EAP and provide flexible, accessible support tailored to the legal profession.

Lyra Health integrated with Sheppard Mullin’s health plan to enable continuous care and rapid access—99% of employees seeking care are instantly matched with a Lyra provider and the average wait time to a first available appointment is 2 days (versus 25 days nationally). The partnership delivered on-site support when needed, seamless ongoing treatment with the same provider, and 100% satisfaction among survey respondents, improving long-term recovery and workforce wellbeing.
