For employers and HR
These guides help Nigerian employers and HR teams support staff, from choosing an employee assistance programme to helping someone who is struggling.
More Nigerian companies now offer mental health support as a staff benefit, usually through an employee assistance programme (EAP), a therapy allowance or HMO cover. Staff often worry that their employer will be watching. On Mytherapist.ng, an employer that pays can see that the benefit was used, but not who the therapist is or what was said. Many managers want to help but freeze, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Start with an HR guide to employee mental health benefits and how to support an employee who is struggling. To reassure your team, share will my employer know I used therapy?
If you'd like to offer support to your staff, see our employee assistance programme. Staff book privately with licensed Nigerian therapists, with no referral or manager sign-off, and clinical details never reach HR.
