What Is Mental Fitness?

It's proactive training for your inner life.

Mental Fitness coaching isn't therapy or crisis support. It's about helping people close the gap between intention and action, strengthening the inner life (mind, will, emotions) and sense of purpose which drives every decision.

Mental Fitness Coach

1-on-1 Mental Fitness Coaching

Regular sessions with a dedicated, certified Mental Fitness Coach. Not crisis intervention, but proactive, ongoing support for the whole person. Care team members bring what's actually on their mind, and their coach helps them work through it before it becomes a problem.

First session bookable within 24 hours of activation

Mental Fitness Coach
1-on-1 Mental Fitness Coaching

A real coach. Not a chatbot.

Care team members get matched with a certified Mental Fitness Coach and book their first session within 24 hours of activation. No referrals, no waitlists, just a real conversation with a person focused entirely on them.

Coaches work with employees on what's actually weighing on them, at work and outside it. Stress doesn't clock out after a shift. The best people on your team are carrying more than their job description shows, and a dedicated coach helps them process it, reset, and show up fully.

  • Sessions scheduled at whatever frequency works for the employee
  • 100% private. Coaching notes are never shared with HR
  • Certified Mental Fitness professionals, not automated responses
  • Available via app, phone, or video

How It Works

Add Forte to your benefits package in three steps.

Designed to work like every other benefit you already offer: simple to add, easy to administer, and built to last.

1

Add to your benefits package

Sign a standard benefits agreement. Forte integrates into your existing HR and benefits ecosystem: no IT lift required. We handle the rest.

2

Care team enrolls on day one

Each team member begins with a Mental Fitness Scan, then accesses self-guided Exercises and books their first 1:1 Coaching Session, available within 24 hours. No waitlists, no referrals.

3

Track outcomes in real time

Your admin dashboard shows engagement rates, wellbeing scores, and program ROI as they update, so you always have data when leadership asks.

Why Forte Works

Add Mental Fitness Training to your benefits package.

Most benefits in your package are reactive: they respond after something goes wrong. Mental Fitness Training is the proactive counterpart: a standard employee benefit that builds resilience before burnout develops, not after. It's also the only benefit in your package focused on the interior life: the mental, emotional, and volitional health that drives everything else your people do. Add it alongside Medical, Dental, and Vision, and your benefits package finally covers the whole person.

Your team will actually use it

Forte's average member participation rate is 6–10x higher than a traditional EAP. When your people actually use the benefit, the outcomes follow naturally: better retention, stronger performance, and lower burnout.

Real impact on retention costs

Losing one clinical staff member costs your organization $40,000 or more to replace. Forte helps keep the people you've invested in, and your admin dashboard gives you the data to show leadership exactly what that's worth.

Common Questions

Everything benefits leaders want to know.

Answers to the questions HR directors and benefits managers at health systems ask before adding Forte to their package.

Still have questions? Talk to a benefits specialist: no sales pressure.
How does Forte fit alongside our existing benefits? +
Forte is designed to complement, not replace, your existing benefits. Most health systems add it alongside medical, dental, and vision coverage. It fills the gap EAP leaves: proactive Mental Fitness support for the 98% of care team members who never call a hotline.
Is employee data private? What can HR administrators see? +
Individual employee data is always 100% private. HR administrators and managers only access anonymized, organization-wide trend data, never individual Coaching conversations, Session notes, or personal wellbeing scores. Privacy drives engagement, and high engagement drives outcomes.
How do you measure ROI? What does reporting look like? +
Your admin dashboard tracks engagement rates, wellbeing score trends, and program adoption in real time. At the organizational level, we help you measure the benefit against baseline retention data you establish before launch. Most clients see measurable ROI within the first year, often within the first two quarters.
What does rollout and implementation look like? +
After you sign, our onboarding team partners with your HR and benefits leads to build a launch plan, configure your employee directory, and send enrollment invitations. Most health systems reach full rollout within 4 weeks with no IT work required on your end. We manage the entire process and stay closely involved through the first 90 days.
How is Forte different from a traditional EAP? +
Your medical plan covers your team when something goes wrong: it wasn't designed to prevent the problem. EAPs work the same way: reactive care for employees who've already hit a breaking point, which is why only 1–2% ever use one. Mental Fitness Training is the proactive counterpart. Like a fitness or preventive care benefit, it builds resilience through regular practice and 1:1 Coaching before burnout takes hold, producing outcomes you can measure and present to leadership.
