UpLife is the self-guided layer in between: employees start today, no referral or wait, we hand off cleanly to your EAP or contracted therapists when someone needs to escalate, and we're there again for step-down care once that treatment ends. For many employees, it resolves the issue before they ever need to escalate at all.
3–8%
An access model built in the 1980s–90s, and it hasn't kept pace with how employees expect to get care today.
16 tools
The average large employer already runs about 16 digital health point solutions, with engagement often under 20%.
3–8 sessions
Per issue, per year. Enough to start, rarely enough to finish, then employees fall off to full-price or out-of-network care.
Comprehensive mental health care platforms exist, with their own clinical staff and full-service delivery, and for a handful of large enterprises with the budget and appetite for that scope, they're worth a look. But most small and mid-sized employers are priced out of that tier entirely, aren't ready to take on a platform migration, or have already evaluated one and passed. UpLife closes the same EAP gap on its own, at a fraction of the cost, with no platform migration required.
$1–$5 / employee / month
Software and hotline access, capped sessions, little to no engagement reporting.
$2–$4 / employee / month
A complete answer on its own: self-guided CBT with a clean hand-off to the EAP or contracted therapists you already use, and the engagement data your EAP doesn't give you.
$4–$10+ / employee / month, plus variable session costs
A full clinical staff and platform commitment, built for large enterprises with the budget and scope to take it on.
UpLife owns the steps before your EAP or contracted therapist network is ever involved, and doesn't require them to change how they work. When someone needs to escalate, we hand off cleanly. When that treatment ends, we're there again for step-down care.
Entry
An employee notices something's off, no referral or intake call yet.
Self-Guided
Structured CBT practice begins immediately, at no cost, no wait time.
Hand-off
If clinical escalation is appropriate, your existing network takes over. No new workflow required from them.
Step-down
Daily practice resumes to protect the gains once treatment concludes.
A real bonus, not just a bridge: the self-guided support employees get before any hand-off is genuine, structured CBT practice, not a placeholder while they wait. Some employees resolve their concern with it alone, before ever needing to escalate, easing pressure on your EAP's limited session capacity rather than just extending it.
UpLife doesn't require you to replace your EAP, or to ask your contracted therapists to change how they work. We operate in the self-guided steps before and after their care, and hand off cleanly when someone needs to escalate. No re-procurement, no new clinical vendor to manage.
Those are comprehensive platforms with their own clinical staff and session costs, priced accordingly. UpLife is a lighter, lower-cost layer designed to sit on top of what you have, a fit for teams not ready for a full platform swap.
Wellness apps aren't clinical and don't connect to real care. UpLife is built on CBT and designed specifically to bridge into the clinical resource, your EAP or contracted therapist, rather than living in isolation.
Every subscription includes an analytics and usage dashboard, engagement and utilization metrics aggregated across your workforce to protect individual privacy, something legacy EAPs typically can't provide at all. Start with a pilot in a single department or cohort, and let that dashboard, drive your assessment.
No rip-and-replace. UpLife works with the EAP or contracted network already in place.
A structured self-guided onramp reaches employees who'd never otherwise call the EAP.
Real engagement and utilization reporting, not a black box.
A single, lightweight layer, not another point solution competing for attention.
Built on cognitive behavioral therapy, designed to connect to real care when it's needed.
Self-guided care that actually works means some employees resolve before ever needing a session, freeing scarce contracted-therapist capacity for higher-acuity cases.
Roll out to a single department or cohort. No company-wide commitment required.
Self-guided CBT content, available the same day, no referral or intake call needed.
Simple criteria and a referral pathway to your EAP or contracted therapists for when someone needs to escalate. No new workflow required from them.
Review utilization and engagement trends, then decide on expansion using real data, not a guess.
Most pilots are live within two weeks.
