At SHRM 2025, Yuna Health is Rewriting Workplace Mental Health - Without Live Therapists

SAN FRANCISCO and SAN DIEGO, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yuna Health today unveiled the first fully AI-powered mental health coaching platform built for enterprise workforces. Yuna provides employees with instant, private emotional support—no appointments, no stigma, and at a fraction of traditional care costs.

"Yuna isn't therapy, it's a lifeline when traditional support isn't available. It meets people where they are, whether that's 2:14 a.m. or in the middle of a spiral, offering real-time, judgment-free support," said Grant Winns, Founder and CEO of Yuna Health. "The goal is not to replace therapy, but to create a new category of proactive support. For the first time in history, organizations can offer every employee truly personalized coaching, on their own terms. This is a level of support that was previously unimaginable and economically impossible."

A Radical Rethink for Modern Mental Health

Typical employee-assistance models rely on costly human coaches, long waits, and confusing access paths. Yuna turns that model on its head with AI-driven, real-time support:

• No humans in the loop for routine chats, with automatic routing to 988 or other crisis hotlines (and live professionals where available) when high-risk signals appear.
  
  
• Help arrives in 0.8 seconds.
  
  
• A deeply personal feel powered by advanced language models and clinically informed design.

"Yuna fills in the moments that traditional therapy can't reach," says Tara Deliberto, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist and Head of Coaching at Yuna. "For someone who's run out of EAP sessions, is stuck on a wait-list, or can only see a therapist once a month, Yuna becomes a lifeline in helping users stay grounded, and practice learned coping skills."

Yuna fills critical gaps between crisis and clinical care. For millions who may never reach a therapist—due to cost, access, stigma, or timing—Yuna offers immediate, compassionate support. Users feel heard and grounded in real time, without navigating a complex system.

Already supporting 50,000+ individuals, Yuna delivers results without requiring a session or speaking to a human. Users report lower stress and improved mood. Ideal for enterprise use:

• Scales to every employee—no limits or tiers.
  
  
• Available 24/7—whether it's Sunday night, a panic spike, or just before a big presentation.
  
  
• Designed for psychological safety—a judgment-free space to open up.
  
  
• Aggregated, anonymized insights—HR leaders gain a privacy-safe view of workforce wellness.

Yuna doesn't diagnose, treat, or prescribe. It serves as a first-line emotional companion—there when thoughts race, when users feel stuck, or need a moment to breathe.

Yuna meets HIPAA security requirements and holds an independent SOC 2 Type I attestation, with Type II auditing underway.
