BHS delivers comprehensive and evidence-based mental health solutions designed to empower your organization and its people while fostering a mentally thriving culture.

Why We’re Different

In an era of digitalization, the human touch remains irreplaceable. Mental health is human, after all. Our Guide+Thrive solution distinguishes itself through its high-touch approach, offering personalized care beyond scripted interactions.

While well-funded digital-first competitors offer digital front-door tools that promote speed, AI-care pathing, and self-selection, our clinical experience demonstrates that this approach gets people to the “wrong help faster.” BHS case data shows a 34% discrepancy between participants’ presenting issues and our expert clinicians’ assessed issues. We put people on the right care path the first time to get the help they truly need.
