The Society for Human Resource Management found that 78% of organizations currently offer or plan to offer mental health benefits this year, but utilization and accessibility are major hurdles for those seeking care. Notably, six out of 10 adults who say their mental health is only fair or poor have not been able to access services, according to a 2022 survey from CNN and the Kaiser Family Foundation.
