Support when people actually need it

Psychological distress and workplace incidents don't only happen between 9am and 5pm. Foremind gives your organisation one access point around the clock, with urgent clinical needs moving into a clinical response pathway outside business hours.

  • For employees

    Psychological support at the moment it's needed, not at the start of the next business day.

  • For managers and HR

    Nobody is left managing a serious workplace incident alone overnight or across a weekend.

  • For organisations

    A complete EAP and Critical Incident service, with no gap between Friday afternoon and Monday morning.

What happens if someone calls at 2am

  1. They call the usual Foremind 1800 number

    Same number, any hour. Nothing to remember and nothing to look up.

  2. A trained call handler answers as Foremind

    They establish whether the caller needs immediate support or something that can wait for business hours.

  3. Immediate need goes straight to a clinician

    A qualified mental health professional assesses what's happening, provides immediate support and determines what happens next.

  4. Safety risks are escalated

    Where there is an immediate safety risk, the clinician can assist with appropriate crisis or emergency escalation.

Not every call needs a clinician at 2am

The after-hours call handler sorts each call into the right path. That keeps the clinical service available for people who need it urgently, while making sure nobody is left without an answer.

Continuity of care, not a rigid handover

Where it's clinically appropriate, the clinician who provides the initial after-hours support may continue working with the employee for the first session or two.

Where it isn't, the employee can move into Foremind's broader counselling network, choose another practitioner through the platform, or be referred to a more specialised service if their needs fall outside short-term EAP support.

The decision is made on clinical need and what gives the person the best continuity of care.

Where a call can lead

  • Continued sessions with the same clinician
  • A practitioner of their choice on the Foremind platform
  • Foremind's broader counselling network
  • Referral to a more specialised service

One number. Any hour. Someone who can actually help.
