An Introduction to Mental Fitness
For organizations who care about their people
Unlike medical coverage, Mental Fitness Training is a proactive investment in the health of your team. Forte works just like Medical, Dental, or Vision: your organization adds it, your people use it, and measurable outcomes follow.

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 the sense of purpose that drives every decision.
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. Your employees 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
Self-Guided Exercises
Science-backed, self-guided exercises that train the mind, will, and emotions between coaching Sessions. Five minutes, any device, anytime. Structured practice that builds interior strength over time.

Meet Your Coach
A real Coach. Not a chatbot.
Your people 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 at 5pm. 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

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 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 employee 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.
Up and running in 4 weeks
No heavy IT integration required. Forte deploys in as little as 4 weeks with a dedicated onboarding team and ongoing account management throughout the year.

Forte meets you where you are, whether you're leading an organization, teaching, serving, or building a life that matters.
