The EAP-alternative that leaves no one behind

EAPs are well-intentioned but can’t meet today’s complex needs. With Kara Connect, every employee gets direct access to real human care delivered privately and on their terms.

Trusted by HR and Wellbeing leaders who believe employees deserve better support

Give your employees support not limitations

EAPs

  • Employees get needlessly delayed, triaged, and disqualified.

  • Employees can’t pick a practitioner that fits.

  • Employees are diverted to helplines and chatbots.

  • Employees worry about privacy on third-party tools.

Kara Connect

  • Direct access for every employee within 48 hours.

  • Choice of practitioner, specialty, and language.

  • 100% human-to-human connection with no substitutes.

  • Everything happens on a secure and private platform.

We meet every employee right where they are

Help without gatekeeping

Let your employees reach out for support when it’s needed, with no barriers. Employees can choose what they need, when they need it.

"At one of the lowest points in my life, I was able to get help from someone within 2 days. It really changed everything."

Choice without empty options

We match employees to the right practitioner in under 30 seconds. Our smart matching ensures they find someone who fits their needs—no endless searching.

"I got help to work through the traumatic loss of my partner. I learned to recognise and cope with the grief and trauma I was experiencing, and to deal with those emotions as I started rebuilding my life."

Human connection without compromise

Every single session is delivered by real professionals—no bots, no substitutes. Whether it’s in-person or online, employees receive the same high-quality care.

"I made the tough decision to put my mother in a nursing home. I needed to talk to a person, not read an article. The therapist was so helpful, I still meet with her a year a later."

Privacy & security without risk

All sessions take place on our secure platform, ensuring complete confidentiality. Your employees’ data stays protected at all times.

"Meeting with my therapist in person after I experienced a breakup with my partner was incredible. I wanted someone to hold my hand."

Kara Connect: so no employee
is left to struggle alone

What is the Wellbeing Hub?

plus

A Wellbeing Hub is a customised platform where companies offer their employees 1-1 mental health and wellbeing sessions.

How does Kara Connect Work?

plus

The companies buy several credits per employee, with 1 credit allowing the employee to book 1 session. Employees can continue the sessions and pay themselves when they finalise their credits.

How confidential and compliant are the services?

plus

Sessions are entirely confidential, and employee information or bookings in the Wellbeing Hub are not shared with employers. Kara Connect provides a monthly report with top-level usage metrics and anonymised data.

How is Kara Connect different from traditional EAPs?

plus

Kara Connect differs from traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) by offering proactive, personalised mental health and wellbeing support through a customisable Wellbeing Hub. Unlike traditional EAPs, which often have low engagement and limited services, Kara Connect allows employees to choose from over 60 services, provides support for families, and reduces manager involvement.
