Better Wellbeing (EAP)

Practical mental health support for workplaces that want their people to thrive.

Better Wellbeing by Fresh Minds connects employees with qualified psychologists and therapists for short-term, evidence-based support that helps them navigate stress, burnout, change, workplace challenges, and life's pressures.

Designed for modern workplaces, Better Wellbeing is flexible, easy to access, and simple to manage.

Supporting your people shouldn’t be complicated

People & Culture teams and wellbeing leaders are under increasing pressure to support employee wellbeing while balancing budgets, workloads, and organisational priorities.

We’ve designed Better Wellbeing to be:  

  • Easy for employees to access

  • Simple for organisations to manage

  • Flexible to suit different workplace needs   

  • Cost-effective, with no annual contracts or sign-up fees

  • Grounded in evidence-based care.

When support is easy to access, people are more likely to get help early, before challenges begin affecting performance, wellbeing, or attendance.

No annual fees | Pay only when support is used | Nationwide coverage

Why Fresh Minds?  

Fresh Minds is one of New Zealand's leading providers of brief-intervention mental health support, supporting organisations across the country.

What makes us different is our focus on early intervention.

Rather than waiting until challenges become crises, we help people access practical, solution-focused support when they need it most.

Our team understands: 

  • Workplace stress, pressure, and change

  • The importance of fast access to support

  • The need for confidentiality and trust

  • How mental wellbeing impacts engagement, performance, and retention.

We make it easier for organisations to provide meaningful wellbeing support while ensuring employees receive high-quality care.

How Better Wellbeing EAP works  

  1. An employee reaches out for support

  2. We connect them with a suitable clinician

  3. They access confidential support online or in person

  4. We provide brief, evidence-based intervention designed to create practical outcomes.

There are no sign-up fees or annual retainers.

You only pay when support is used, making Better Wellbeing a flexible option for organisations of all sizes.

We provide Brief-Intervention Therapy 

Most people benefit from 3-4 sessions of focused, evidence-based support.

Employees commonly seek support for:

  • Work stress and burnout

  • Anxiety and overwhelm  

  • Change and uncertainty

  • Relationship challenges

  • Life transitions

  • Workplace conflict or communication challenges.  

Support is available nationwide through online and in-person appointments.

Early support makes a difference

Without the right support, everyday challenges can grow into bigger issues.

  • Stress can become absence

  • Burnout can contribute to turnover

  • Small concerns can become complex problems.  

Providing timely, effective support helps people stay engaged, productive, and connected to their work.

For organisations, early intervention isn't just good for employee wellbeing. It strengthens workplace culture and helps teams perform at their best.
