ICAS is becoming Lyra: a new global standard for workforce mental health
ICAS and Lyra Health joined forces in 2022 to transform access to life-changing mental health care for people around the world. At the end of 2023 the two organizations were united under one brand: Lyra. This effort is the culmination of a comprehensive two-year process of learning and thoughtful integration.
The core problems we set out to address were clear: Half of the world’s population will experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime, and the vast majority of those impacted won’t receive treatment. Recognizing this, benefits leaders have invested in mental health and well-being support globally. But they’re facing hurdles such as multi-country administrative burdens, inadequate access to care for their people, and culturally insensitive services and programs that make it difficult to connect global teams with effective care.
From the beginning, all of us at Lyra and ICAS shared a vision for addressing these challenges and setting a new standard in global mental health care. Lyra now has the largest fully integrated, evidence-based mental health network with 22,000+ providers in 200+ countries and territories serving over 15 million people around the world.
